Okay, it’s three pairs. That’s all I got done today.
I used some glass beads that I made for these. It’s tough making two beads the same. Tried my best.

I’m kind of liking making earrings. Even though I have to make two the same, it’s not that bad. Would be easier if I drew out the designs prior to making the first one but when I start out, I’m not sure what I’m making until the first earring is done.
Hammered with a simple curl and a pink quartz bead.
These heart earrings will hang slanted. 
Some kind of quartz square beads and some green stone beads that I had laying around.
Another set of hoops with etched glass beads and some brass and nickel spacers.
I decided to take a picture of each pair of earring right after I make them. Trying to hang them and take a picture didn’t work. I think these are better.
I don’t usually make earrings. There’s something about making the exact same thing twice that I just don’t like. I don’t mind similar but most people want earrings to match. I’ve done my best here even though these are the crappiest pictures I’ve taken in a while. 
I had to retake this picture, it was so bad. I love Biwa pearls. Hopefully other people do too.
I bought these mother of pearl buttons a while ago. Never knew what to do with them. A few jump rings and a little round gemstone bead works well with the buttons, don’t you think?
These are hard to see. They are drilled river rocks. I tried to match them up as well as I could. And by this time, I got tired of making the same earring so I did the wires all different on these.
More round pearl – it’s hard to tell those are pearls and another set that I made round earrings and threaded some beads onto it. Easy peasy.
Also, some clip charms that never got posted.
This is my first ever cloisonne piece I made. I showed it in a previous post without it’s setting. I finally had time to get the sterling silver part soldered together.
The enamel piece isn’t perfect and I now know how important it is to make sure the sides are smooth and the whole piece is the same level. Where the wires are I needed to smooth that area out more so the bezel would not have a bump there. I also need to make sure my enamels aren’t contaminated. Lessons learned. The bottom stone is a titanium drusy.
This is the eighth and last one for the pending order. I do like making them but not that many at one time.
Now I can start working on things for the fall craft shows. Have to come up with some new ideas which I seem to be totally out of right now.
Got two more done. Only one more to go.
Hopefully, I’ll get the last one done this weekend. Then it’s on to something new!!
I finished three more. Three more to go. Actually they are going pretty quickly now. The hammering took a while and so did drilling.
Finished necklace number 2. Still have 6 more to make.
These are beads I made over the weekend. More to add to the bead show stash.
I got an order for eight of these necklaces. I got most of the hard work done and now I just have to add the glass balls and link the wires together. The fun part is bending them into shapes. This is the first one.
The wire is copper that has been patina’ed and tumbled to harden the wire.
I’m sure getting tired of making square chip beads. I think my idea of making them in all colors isn’t going to happen. These are the ones I finished up so far this weekend.
And some new sterling silver charms that I’ve been working on for weeks. Finally got around to finishing them up.
