Earrings

I like earrings - I like making them, I own a lot, but wearing them can be a problem for me.
This morning, I was wearing this pendant:

Copper clay Om pendant.

 And decided to wear copper earrings. I love the texture in them, but as soon as I put them on, I felt "over decorated." To me, they were too big.

Textured and oxidized copper.

 

So, they were exchanged for the tiny enameled ones. The color isn't true and, believe me, I tried about five times and finally gave up and settled.  

Small domed and enameled disks.

And that isn't the first time I've done just that. I feel larger earrings plus necklace is just too much (on me). I never feel that way about other people, okay, rarely. 

I seem to be so much more comfy with small earrings, but love making bigger ones. Go figure!

Am I the only one who feels that way?

And, BTW, I had absolutely no idea I had that many freckles.

On my bench today

Work(s) in progress. Wires that have been textured and annealed but not shaped yet. Some that have been shaped and are waiting to be finished.

A pair of copper hoops that needs a bit more polishing.

Silver hoops.

Abacus earrings - a little wonky. My first try. Actually, I seem to specialize in wonky.

And today's finish - Boho Bangles. Not perfect either, but sometimes finished is better than perfect.
The camera and I still haven't made friends again, I used the camera phone for these. Easing in slowly. And I'd better get back into it, I have a huge backlog of photos that need to be worked on.
