AJE Earring Challenge Reveal Wks 1 and 2

It's time for the big reveal, although my blog readers will have already seen my week 1 pair of earrings, here they are again.

They have been made using my own lampwork earrings and I even made my own sterling silver earrwires!

I've been working on trying to take some better pictures so hopefully you will see some improvement as time goes on.

Week 2 saw me playing with some Vintaj brass and lampwork rings which were made using a 10mm mandrel. (I can't claim the rings were an orriginal idea by me but shown to me by Helen Gorrick of Helen G Beads)

Aren't they sweet, I applied the patina to the little swallows so that they matched the rings.

They are available for sale in my Etsy store https://www.etsy.com/listing/120262848/a-pair-of-handmade-lampwork-earrings and if you fancy making a pair of your own I have some of the glass rings for sale too
