earring heaven.

i have to show these off.  finally i think i have perfected my "horseshoe" earrings - i had posted the first attempts in march but they just didn't seem to work.  today i had a lot of time to fool around with the design and some scrap wire and voila!  my new favorite earrings!  lightweight but quite substantial, shiny and perfectly balanced, i think these would be suitable for almost any occasion.  except for maybe sleeping.  they're a little too pretty to be hidden!  i'll be making a set in copper, brass and gold filled, so watch this space!  it surprises me that you can do this with just a simple design, pliers and sterling silver.
