Back on the horse!

I've accrued a decent amount of new works/tinkerings in the past couple of months--I figure it's time to start posting again!

Here's is a pair of earrings I modeled after the lace back of a friends dress (completed September 2013).

The frames are beaded lengths of jeweler's wire of varying gauges, and each row is strung to the last with thread which allows them to flow freely. The wire forming the top wedge had to be super-glued at the corners in order to keep the tension of the "loom's" coiled thread.

Another photo for scale (they should almost touch the shoulders on most people):

I'm particularly fond of these as the dangling beads are also very reminiscent of Neuropteran eggs ^_^
