I seem to have a bit of breathing space, so I am catching up. ZOMG TWO POSTS IN ONE DAY.

Have some ear cuff photos!

A friend suggested wrapping some excess wire back up the shape, and creating layered leaves. Needs a little refining (I dislike the indentation along the edge), but I really like the layered look.
With bonus not-ear cuff wire work:

This was inspired by the wire mesh I made for the sink, as well as Elise Matheson's fabulous necklace-crowns.
WordPress hates when I try to put links in captions, apparently, so let’s try that again: here is Elise’s blog (go find “new shinies” and “shiny sale” posts for jewelry goodness); here are photos of a necklace-crown.
