Earring swap blog hop



So I joined a blog hop earring swap.

I was partnered with another jewelry artist, and we agreed to swap 3 pairs, even though the rules were for just one pair.  She said she prefers antiqued copper and boho style.

I discovered I have no idea how to do "boho" style, but I tried.
I did end up making 3 pairs of copper earrings: 1 pair wire wrapped with copper, 1 pair forged copper, and 1 pair copper clay.



As of this writing I have not heard from the artist I was partnered with. I hope everything is ok.



UPDATE!!!
She was just late, and had life get in the way. I was a bit worried, but am glad to hear it was just a schedule thing. Thanks to those who offered to send me something for the swap. Im covered.

And to see the pretties she has in store for me:

You sent some wonderful earrings. I think my favorite pair are the ones in the middle, although I really love that clay leaf. Hope your partner is ok, and you get your earrings soon.

Wow Laura, you really went all out for this! I've always loved your copper creations and am so jealous she got 3 pairs. Thanks for participating!

You may not know what boho is, but you made some lovely boho-compatible earrings that any boho girl would love to wear. I really like the middle one. As for your partner...I feel for her about life getting in the way. This is a crazy time of year for me too. But you'll have yours soon...and I've seen them....you lucky girl you!
