A pair of adventurous wire wrapped feather earrings.
Yesterday I talked about taking a new approach to how I start my pieces. I like to step outside of my comfort zone in order to help myself grow as an artist. This project definitely helped me do that. I don’t usually make earrings. They are tricky to make because I need to duplicate everything I do in order to have both earrings be identical. I have been playing around with earrings lately because they are a fun accessory to wear and I had requests for them. I haven’t seen many wire wrapped earrings before. That allowed me to create these without any external expectations about what they should look like.
I really like how these came out. The feathers are so long that I needed two pictures to capture the earrings. I am was worried that the three chains might get tangled in each other and have been happily surprised to find that hasn’t been a problem for me so far. I look forward to replicating this design in the future with different stones, and alternating the length of the feathers.
