Artsy Fartsy part 4!

Whenever I do something ambitious like the wind chimes, I unwind by doing a bunch of simple transfers. It helps my morale immensely and increases the earring count.

The Photos:

1. The finished wind chime earring at long last. Those nicely-arranged chains took about five goes each to hang right.



2. The finished pair has symmetry because I find symmetry satisfying



3. Swapped pendant earrings are almost imperceptible from the originals



4. The process goes thus: pick your bits to match, where possible



5. Disconnect the pendant from the hook. This will bugger the hook beyond usability, but we don’t care about that



6. Attach your clips. You may need a couple of rings to make sure it hangs right



7. The screw-on clips pictured here are hybrids, meaning the wearer can adjust them for the best balance of comfort and hold. Beware of the ‘pure’ screw-on clips. They are a pain in the arse



8. The pair pictured here still have my fingerprints on them



9. Those tassels were so long, they made shoulder-ticklers all on their own



10. But they were so easy to assemble - how could I resist?

Not a lot of lessons, here, but quite a lot of earrings got done, so I’m kind of proud. I’m trying for every style of earring plausible with clips, using affordable stuff whenever I can grab it.
