Work in Progress Wednesday - Tiny frosted earrings

This one's quick and simple.  I was talking to my Mom this morning and she asked me to make her a little pair of earrings to bring up to Toronto with me at Christmas. I made these for my brother's fiance last year and my Mom's requesting a pair of her own. 

Here's a little step-by-step photo shoot from this morning:

Materials:  18 gauge sterling silver sheet, sterling silver ear posts and nuts.

Step 1 - cut.

the company of a little woodland sprite never hurts.

Step 2 - dap.

Step 3 - melt solder onto posts.

Step 4 - solder posts onto earrings.

Step 5 - clean

while multi-tasking on the phone.

Step 6 - apply the frosted finish

with eye protection.

Step 7 - wear.

It's as easy as 1,2,3,4,5,6,7.  See?

Ok, we're about to get in the car for our road trip to Alabama.  Thanksgiving family reunion time, hoooray!

If you live in the US like moi, here's wishing you and yours a Happiest Thanksgiving.  If you don't live in the US, then here's wishing you and yours a wonderful rest of the week.
