Some Halloween Cuffs and Earrings

I really should be posting more blogs. I mean I start out with good intentions but sort of get tied up with other things and to be honest I feel I make such a mess of my blog page... oh never mind lets share some of the jewellery I have been doing in time for Halloween.

Couldn't make cuffs with out making earrings to match

This past year ...well since January really I decided to use more mixed media and to try new techniques. One of the techniques I have been learning and really enjoying is wire work. Here is a wire work cuff and earrings to match.
A hand formed wire frame with hand knitted wire insert The polymer clay roses and howlite skulls and crystals are then woven into the insert. The shepherd style clasp hook I also made.

Not only are they suited for Halloween but anyone who likes gothic fashions.
