Art Jewelry Boot Camp: Balled Headpin Blog Hop/AJE Earring Challenge week 5

Remember these....

Over at Love My Art Jewelry they challenged us to make our own headpins
Well the silver ones turned into Week 5 earrings and look like this....

These ones are all made by me, double ended head pins swirled up and textured then simply add some jump rings, tada, easy peasy earrings!
The only problem being I am now hooked and surrounded by headpins and I have just made a lovely little pile of the beautiful red copper head pins.

Have a great day

  2. Thanks so much for participating! Love the design. I made the exact same thing as chain in my Alice Blog Hop (though they were in brass, which is a pain to ball up, and apparently not good to breathe when heated)! Its a very whimsical shape, I am sure you will find a million uses for it!

  11. Great texture and design. I like your attention to detail, double wrapping the earwire to match the double connections on the earrings. Great design!

    Such wonderful components, Niky, and beautifully made. Can't wait to see what you create with the copper ones.
