Here's one I made earlier...

I'm trying to use every last tiny bit of copper...
I use reward stickers as templates...makes me feel like a good girl

shaping and filing

cleaned up

heated until cherry red...

preparing the borax

painting on the borax

little stars are ready

wire on the jig

flux and solder...and potato...

leather mallet to anneal and shape

bees wax to protect and add a bit of shine

the finished earrings!
