So Many Headpins...
































So many headpins...
































...so little time.
































Just a few of my favorite pairs from the piles of headpins I made this week.
It's getting on spring earring season, eh?
































All of these were made on 19 gauge black steel wire - the kind you can get a big spool of at the hardware store for a couple of bucks. I like to pair it with sterling silver ear wires. It needs to be sealed to prevent rust, I use renaissance wax. But, I am going to experiment on some of these and seal them with green alcohol inks for metal.
