I enrolled in another jewelry class with Alice Gustin, titled "Rope Your Ears." What fun! I learned to make twisted wire earrings, as well as the earring wires! On one pair, I learned to use a twisting tool, which makes the twist in the wire even and consistent. There was a bit of a learning curve for me, but I finally got the hang of it. Making the earring wires was not very hard either, once you learn a few easy tricks. The pair of twisted wire earrings with the amethyst and moonstone tear-drops were made in class; working with the tiny holes in these stones was a new experience for me too. I also made the large earring wires in class, but added the stones after I got home. Now I'm inspired to make more!
Is there anything that you cannot do? You are clearly a Renaissance woman!
