pairs, patterns & patinas...

finished putting together the earrings from this batch of pmc pieces.

The dark triangles are an older pair I've given a patia, as well as new beads & hooks - I'm very pleased with the transformation. The round pair & the small teardrops (with green beads) have a leaf imprint & the other three are patterns drawn into the wet clay.

the pair with the leaf imprint & patia are probably my favourite out of this bunch.

ear wires & other new things...

Until recently, making my own ear wires never really occurred to me...I'm not sure why. Anyway, a little while ago, I read this post, on the lovely Ange's blog & finally got around to making some. (the red earrings above are mine, with the first pair of ear wires I made)

Now I keep wondering what took me so long. I'm loving how they look & how simple they are to make...all my earrings from now on will have handmade hooks I think :)

below is the first in a new range of pearl earrings to be listed on my etsy.
