Connie Fox makes a lot of earrings with wild ear wires.  Here is my attempt.  These are 22 gage wire and while they look good, i am not really happy with their ability to hold the shape.  Dispite hammering, they just feel a bit flimsy.    

 

I found these dicro coils at a bead show a couple weeks ago and thought they were too fun to pass up. The funky little dangles give them movement and sparkle!

 
 

I finally bit the bullet and bought a Pepe disc cutter and have to say, "Wow - what a difference!"   i love the job it does and I am having fun playing with discs of different sizes and different metals.
