Ear Wires

I brought my cousins a couple pairs of my custom crafted Coinearrings while I was in B.C. - gave them the ones with the little silver U.S. Half Dimes, Capped Bust and Seated Liberty... haven't heard from them yet as to what they thought of the super heavy duty ear wires (fine silver 18 gauge) but I am sure they initially found them uncomfortable or even impossible to put in - if they have even tried to put them in yet... I have worked with one of my best tester buddies E.H. in regards to the super heavy (and really pretty) ear wire and her feedback has been similar to other folks in that the initial discomfort is difficult to deal with but that they are not impossible to wear... E.H. has a couple pairs that she has been 'Beta Testing' now for several weeks. I have just today received 10 sets of really pretty 20 G sterling ear wires and will be using them moving into the future; not sure if I will replace all the 18G ear wires that I have on several earrings or if I will just leave them for future consideration... I have always thought that the 18 G fine silver ear wires were super pretty looking, but then again, the feedback from those who have tried them hasn't been great, I dunno, I don't have pierced ears - yet - so I have never tried them.

Volcano Man Necklace

VOLCANO MAN

NECK WEAR

(Volcano Man: Keeper of fire, maker of spear tips, smelter of metal, a manly man, an ancient Cro-Magnon Cave Guy)

This piece slips on over the head - no clasp. Composed with snowflake obsidian, copper wire links (cold joined) and a nice antique Czech glass bead in red (representing the fire element) - the coin is an old, 'previously holed' (I didn't make the hole) & worn down silver Morgan dollar that looks like it's dated 1882 (the date is worn). I was carrying this buck on my keys ring, then decided it would be better re-purposed as a pendant.

Might take this one to Eye Candy Gallery for display and sale.
