It has been waaaaaay too long since I have made any wire jewelry. Still, I wanted some fancy black earrings to wear, so here is the first draft. I will be re-doing the hanging part, as they stink! Where they connect that is. Anywho, I made a newbie mistake in that I made one earring and then the next. DANG! :nono: Now, one is much nicer than the other. I suppose that is a reminder that practice is good! ;D I hope ya'll enjoy these.

Ummm - I'm sorry, I cannot see any flaws in either of those. They are gorgeous as-is. I think that is some really great bead work. Way too itty bitty for my eyes and fat fingers!

Ya'll are wonderful people...which is why I missed ya'll so when I got a new computer and couldn't find this forum! ack! Anywho, I really appreciate that ya'll like em. I still will redo the connection, as one swings and the other doesn't! poop.... I'm just glad I finished em at all. I've been in such a funk since my dog died. (Hudson, my red Dobie sidekick of 9 years) Oh, the one on the right was done first. Hence the neater coils on the left... I plan on doing some cabs and some faceted gemtones I recently bought. (fingers crossed) I'll show ya'll when I do. Hugs to all...Nancy F

Beautiful earrings, I saw them in Wire Jeweller and wanted to try these myself, but haven't yet managed to get around to those
I like then a lot!

Thanks Susan & Tweetiepy! Yep...the top part is a rendition of that earring in the Jan.2004 issue. I remember when I got that issue all those years ago...I have since made numerous different earrings with the tapered bead center. My sister loves em and has a few pairs. That magazine is sorely missed.

Always great to see you here Nancy! I love your earrings-I'm always lurking at your website to see what's new there. I always do my best work late at night after everyone has gone to bed. I never have time to take pictures though...shame on me! kj

Hey KJ...thanks! Oh...my site...I am re-designing it and new things will be on there. I have just been in a funk this year. Now, I am feeling the itch to make jewelry again. yeah ;D INfact, tomorrow some of us Texas gals are getting together for a meet-up and will be messing with copper sheet. It is going to be fun! Yahoo has a Texas wire wrap group. groups.yahoo.com/group/Wire_Wrap_TexasCheck it out. Hugs, NAncy F
