Butterfly Twirl Earrings (2011) Sterling silver Formed, soldered 2 cm dia. This week I had one more idea for the butterflies – a pair of hoop earrings. Here, the butterflies fly around in a loop. The earrings insert from the back of the earlobe and curl around to bring the butterflies to the front. It’s...
Fluttering Butterflies (2011) Sterling silver, aquamarine Formed, flame-worked, cold-joined L 4.8 cm x W 1.9 cm This week has been very satisfying, both in terms of the pieces I’ve made and the quantity of work I was able to produce. On top of it all, I had fun! Early in the week, I was...
