Earrings

While at home in Minnesota I finally finished making everyone those crane earrings I promised. I have a box of old/broken necklaces and bead bracelets that I use, along with some found wire and bought earring backings and washi paper to make new earrings.

It took a while to make these earrings below! I had to wire each rock/bead onto the thin jewelry chain individually, ran out of silver wire and had to use crummy black wire.

These cranes are made from silver gum wrappers:

In the past I've also made earrings from pennies, buttons, and Izze bottle caps. They're great fun to wear!
