I got these cuties made and planned to bring them with me to work and, as I have learned from our own Keirsten Giles, planned to photograph them in the car! Lots of natural light AND shade!!
Alas, I forgot to bring them with me! I started pawing through my bag and found the camera, a few other little things I was going to shoot, but no earrings.
So, there you have it. Copper flower blanks, texturized and stamped, holes punched for wrapping wire, dapped for depth! I added Czech glass beads in a very sort of chartreuse green/electric yellow, with a bit of Picasso finish, which adds a slight touch of blue. I wrapped the beads on utilizing fine gauge copper wire and the holes I punched! They measure about an inch in diameter and since I didn't add anything else, they don't dangle more than that from your ear lobe.
I thought they were so sweet, all I did was hang them from my "go to" non-sterling earwires. These are so comfortable on, and affordable, so when I am not using my own sterling, hand-wrought earwires, I like these.
Hmm, after putting them on and looking at myself in the mirror for way too long, I have decided that these will not go in my shop...they are MINE!!! I could probably wear them everyday and they would match something in my closet!!
If you would like something similar, just let me know ;)

ReplyDeleteAccessorizing an outfit is something innate in women. Unlike men, women tend to use more than just the dress and essential accessories.
ReplyDeleteThese are great! Love the metal flowers!!
