Earrings for Christmas

It's time to make an array of wire wrapped earrings for the holidays. Aluminum wire is very popular since larger earrings can be made without the extra weight. I like to mix different types of wires together. The first pair is made from copper colored aluminum and wrapped with copper wire. Hand torched rose colored head pins add a splash of color.

The second pair is made from black oxidized steel wire. I call these Katydids. They remind me of  insects. :)

Chalcedony earrings

I am very pleased with how these earrings turned out. I got the wonderful tut online from Nancy Wickman They are from  her woven earrings tutorial.   I did change them up a little bit and added  yummy blue chalcedony briolettes. They are very long and swingy. :) Check out Nancy Wickman's blog at
