Don't you just love......wire?

I've been bitten by the wire bug!!! I've been making jewelry for 3 years now, but never tried my hand at wire designs. I do the basic wire techniques, but always thought making jewelry with wire would be too hard for me. I have arthritis and major nerve damage throughout my body and especially my hands, so I just always thought I couldn't do it. Well....once again, I learned something the hard way... Never ever underestimate your abilities!!! I made these lovely freshwater pearl hoop earrings, and I was so surprised at how easy it really is! I love the way they turned out! I'm having a lot of fun with wire, so look for more wire pieces to come! Find my "Wrapped in Aqua" hoop earrings in my Etsy Shop. If you like them, but want them in a different color of pearls, send me a convo through my shop. I love custom orders!
