52 Pairs of Earrings Week #3

It's week number three for the 52 Pairs of Earrings A Year Flickr group. Here are my earrings for the week. I really like these new leaves that I made. I think I'll even make more! I also like that these earrings make a little noise when I move my head. I like noisy earrings for some reason???

What I learned this week:

• 1. I'm happy that I joined this group. It has (so far) kept me motivated to make new things out of polymer clay.

• 2. I learned that I agonize over every step in putting the earrings together! (Oh to be Lorelei Eurto, and to be able to make so many beautiful  pieces of jewelry in one session AFTER WORKING all day!)

• 3. I am putting some of the ideas that swirl around in my head into something that I actually make!

• 4. I can't take pictures worth BEANS. It took a boat load of taking photos in different areas of my house to finally get one that I wanted to use. I still had to doctor it up in Photoshop!

If you feel like making lots of earrings this year, join this group. Or you can just look at what other are making. 

P.S.  My ears really bother me when I wear brass ear wires. I really like the look of the brass wires or wires that have had a patina added. Does anyone have any suggestions about types of wire to use? Am I the only one with this problem? I know I could use sterling silver, but I'm not crazy about the look of silver.
