Some more woven metal here in the shape of a six petal floral form and a five point smaller post earring. The earring center looks a bit more like a tiny rose, but I'll take it! I will make the other one later, so I'll have two to wear.
This metalwork is woven and has visual texture and is also tactile. It's so fun and different. It was a challenge to size this idea down. The petals were very tiny to hold while weaving and pulling the wire. These look large for studs, but they are very wearable.
In a way, they remind me of the many pairs of my grandmothers earrings I've studied over the years. Large clip earrings were so popular for so long and I own loads of them. They were large, pretty and so dressy. I think it's time for a comeback, but you know I'll be wearing these with my denim coat.
