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:
