Nicotiana Earrings (vase not included)

Description

These earrings where voted FIRST PLACE on an Etsy Storque's poll of "Your favorite fall/winter items on Etsy". Thank you to everyone who voted for them! I'm flattered! http://www.etsy.com/storque/etc/your-favorite-fall-and-winter-items-are-in-3743/

These earrings are fabricated using foldforming techniques with thin (0.4 mm)sheet of copper.

Foldforming is a conceptual, physical, and intuitive approach to metalsmithing that is informed by the natural characteristics of metals, and where the marks of process are compositional design choices.

The flowers on these earrings measure about 7/8" by 7/8" across by 1/2" deep. Ear wires are sterling silver.

The copper in these earrings has not been treated, so it will change color with time.

Care instructions: Wash with mild dish soap and warm water. Use a soft bristle toothbrush and dry carefully. Make sure they are completely dry before storing.

These earrings (and all of my jewelry) comes inside a pretty gift box tied with a satin ribbon and ready for gift giving.

Note: The miniature vase is not included in this listing.
