52 Earrings in 2011 – Nos. 36 & 37
I’ve had the copper solder out again, and have been playing with truly organic forms. These spirals have been created with copper sheet that is soldered together. I then filed them smooth so that no escaped bits of copper solder were showing. Teamed with these deep red round garnet gemstone beads there is a real [...]
