These fun earrings were created from lampwork headpins by the talented and lovely Jen Cameron of Glass Addictions. I layered them onto brass flowers that I torch-fire enameled with bright colors and then wired them onto textured copper ovals.
Even though they are securely attached, they have just enough slack so that the flowers twirl around...sort of like a pinwheel or a whirligig! Remember these cute little toys? As a kid, I used to get plastic ones that had little candies in the stem. I would stick them out the window of the car to let them twirl in the wind as we drove home from the store...much to my mother's disapproval!
