They are cute and tiny and perfect for everyday wear.

New everyday earrings

I have been making a lot of post earrings lately, gives me a good excuse to practice my soldering too.  These are the latest pair, I call them tweed earrings.  Another pair is to come once they have posed for pictures.

Something New!

I made these post earrings for a friend and I thought they were super cute, so I have now added them to my etsy shop.

They are all sterling silver and measure a tiny 6mm approx. I hope you like them and you can find them here :)

*Update, one pair sold today, yay!

New Earrings

Something new I made over the weekend, first up are these cherry blossom dangle earrings.  Cut from copper sheet and they hang on my own handmade sterling silver ear wires.



Next are these post earrings, my first proper go at sawing sterling sheet, I quite like how they turned out too.

I hope you like them, they will be listed in etsy shop soon :)



Some new earrings

Now I have finally learnt to solder I have been making little post earrings non stop, I love them!

Above are a couple of pairs which I am currently uploading to my Etsy shop :)

I can solder!

 

 

I have had my solder paste now since Christmas and all my other bits and pieces to solder but last night was the first night I gave it a go.  I wanted to solder ear posts to my PMC earrings which I had made earlier so I plucked up the courage, stuck my little goggles on and went for it!

I must have had about 4 goes and couldn't seem to get it right, the solder wouldn't flow and I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong.  So after much frustration I flickr mailed my buddy,  the lovely David of Revonav who explained it all to me and gave me a great link for making posts too.  I left it and went back to it this morning and fiddled about with positioning of the earring post and the direction of the torch and it worked! The solder flowed and I made my earrings.  I got a bit solder happy and made 4 pairs above is one of them.  I have wanted to make these for a while now as an alternative to my paint palette necklace and I love making and wearing post earring myself.

These earrings will be up in my Etsy shop tomorrow, so here's to more soldering and thanks again to David, go check out his awesome shop here. :)
