march ear bling

Here are this month's earrings



I tried a few new things this month.  First of all, I shaped the frames myself instead of buying premade ones.  I definitely have a lot to learn.  I wanted these to be circular hoops, and as you can see they are indeed teardrop.  Hey I like teardrop, too.  The wire was really hard to work with!  It was too thick and not malleable enough.  I'm going to try a different gauge wire next time.  I tried the wrapping technique again, but this time I did stacks of beads wrapped horizontally to make rows.
