Hammered Spirals

This has been a busy year for me so far. I'm trying to uphold my New Year's resolutions of getting in shape and keeping up with the laundry. There are just not enough hours of the day! Luckily, this snowy weekend gave me the perfect opportunity to spend time with my husband and daughter, workout, do laundry and create new earrings.

I made these "Hammered Spirals" out of aluminum wire and Indian Glass beads. Hope you like them!

Hammer Time

Happy New Year everyone!! I hope you had a wonderful holiday and are having a great year so far. I took a little break with the earrings, but am starting up again. Here is my first creation of the year.

I used a completely different technique creating these earrings. I hammered each piece to flatten the wire and widen out the ends. These earrings are so light it hardly feels like you're wearing them.
