Today, I played around with some tiny copper elements—1.5 cm long, 1.5 mm diameter wire pieces. I hammered them on both sides at different angles, giving each a unique shape and texture. The pieces got little holes at their ends, letting me string them together on a wire ring alternating with deep Bordeaux glass beads (2.5 mm in diameter).
The result? A delicate, playful design that I think will make for some fun, dangling earrings.

I should have arranged them differently, with the longest element in the middle but anyway. When I mak the earrings I will do it this way. What do you think?
