I made this pair of earrings to go with the Bewitching Bracelet that I made in Connie's class in September. I had some corrugated silver leftover from the bracelet and decided to use them in the earrings. The lampwork beads were also made by me.

These earrings are called "Balance". These earrings are a balance between steel, which I love to work in, and stones. Turquioise and pearls are a favorite combination of mine as I like the balance between the delicate pearls and the earthy turquoise. Email Deryn

These are a pair of silver wire earrings I made this past summer. The double teardrop is made with a single piece of S/S wire - I just wish I could remember how I twisted the darn things! On the bottom are S/S beads of increasing size, separated by finer gauge silver wire that's connected to both the inner and outer teardrops.

I started learning to work with beads and wire earlier this spring, and over the last few weeks I have taken some of Connie's classes, including Bewitching Bracelets and Cold Joints. I really enjoyed learning to work with the sheet metal and get a rush out of torching the silver! I hope to be able to take more classes next season. Email Tanya.

I was fortunate to take Connie's Earring class in Idyllwild during Metals Week this past June. These "Fish Lure" earrings are enameled on preformed copper. They include a transparent glass disk and a brass dangle. Email Deirdre.
