That's a favorite shape of mine lately. The movement is really fun. I'm also experimenting with other new shapes of ear wires. I made those ear wires with Argentium silver which balls up like Fine Silver when heated with a torch and can also be work hardened by baking in an oven. Cool stuff! Thanks Lisa.

The shape really speaks to me, I like the subtle colors, and I love how you've used non-traditional ear wires. Anyone can do a fish-hook - they look very artsy on those wires.

I am sure that Photoshop has some way to edit out the supports, but I am not familiar enough with the program beyond the basics. I just looked at the new Lark book 500 Earrings and the majority of the earrings are photographed on an ear or just laying on a gradient background. That sounds like it has real possibilities.

Actually, I need to remake the one I'm using now - the dremel I used to make the holes in the frame was a bit low on charge (and the bit could have been dull, too), which means that the holes aren't as neat as I'd like.
