Copper Twist And Torqoise Earrings

These earrings were made by using a Thing-a-ma-jig to bend the copper wire. I cut a piece of copper about 7 inches long and made the pattern for the swirl. After putting the bead on the wire I used the same jig pattern to make the top swirl and used the extra wire at the […]

I added the heart (locket, Madame Delphine) in […]

Purple Swirl Wire Necklace
