AJE Earring Challenge Weeks 3 & 4

The following earrings were created for the Art Jewelry Elements Earring Challenge, Weeks 3 and 4.  Pair 3 consisted of copper tear-drops and heart charms that were cut, stamped, antiqued then patinated with Gilders Paste, and put together with copper wire, headpins,and jumprings to include coral colored chip beads.

Pair number 4 was put together with gemstone encrusted wire-wrapped copper washers and forged charms that were also stamped and antiqued, then shaped with waves that reflect light and movement. 

Since this was the first time that an actual stamp was used by me, I did learn that practice does improve stamped images! Now, what to do for next week? Stay tuned! In the mean time, check out what the other artists are making for their earrings at the Art jewelry Elements blog!
