Jewelry

Here are the two pieces of jewelry that I just got finished yesterday in class. The earrings still need to have the ear-wires put on them.

If I could figure out how to post pictures on the screen I would, but since I can't, here are the links.

oooohhhh!!! Pretty! I especially like that leaf pin. :-)

Thanks, It turned out really well. The patina was put on the copper by baking it in a toaster oven, believe it or not. I coated it in clear nail polish to protect the finish, and I lost some of the bright blue and green tones that were on there, but I think it looks more like a real leaf now.

Marion, those are gorgeous! You should be really proud!

Thanks, I am glad you like them. Being a perfectionist, I usually only see the flaws and not the whole, but these did turn out well, despite the brass shrinking and the solder not covering all the gaps. *sigh*
