* AJE Earring Challenge... #Reveal 15 for week 29 and 30

Welcome to the reveal 15 for weeks 29 and 30 of the Art Jewelry Elements Earring Challenge!
I rarely make earrings.....although I think to make earring more easy than necklace or bracelet... :)
But in fact, making earring is not simple as I think...  :)
I made only 2 pairs earring last week... :)

I really love our traditional glass bead.....named java beads or gudo beads...
Almost of my design used java beads...
I used java beads and enameled copper wire to make my first earring...

The second earring used java bead, czech dagger glass and enameled copper wire too...

Thank you for stopping by me as I show off my earrings.  

See the AJE blog to see more wonderful earrings...
