Great idea Sharon, and the suggestion to bend the wire into an earwire for an instant earring...brilliant! I think I'll make some this weekend.

These are really fun! Kalera is right, you can get so much more detail and designs on these without worrying about the wire melting. Yay! I'm off to do some more.

Love the poppies! I just made a couple little murrine ones to test the technique. I am thinking these would be fun little post earrings for teens.

Sharon, THANK YOU for the tutorial! I couldn't wait to try it out.
Here's a crappy photo. I didn't want to move them around too much because they are still curing.

Thanks Suzy and Julianne! I make mine a bit different than the tutorial....no gluing, just torched directly on wire.

GO LORI and ELIZABETH - those are really great!
And maybe we could post pics of how we use the headpins? Here are some of mine, all from several years ago. Recently all the headpins I've been making are for the steampunk compound beads (heads, hands, little bitty dicks, etc):

I love the idea of making them on mandrels it would be so much cleaner. Thanks so much for sharing.
I made these flowers and leaves directly on 18g copper wire and them just wired them into the pendant and ear rings. It's quick and painless except for dealing the fire scale.

Lovely work, Tracy! I especially like the way you clustered them with the big endcap - cool!

I made a bunch of flowers on copper wire and to shine it back up, I'd soak them in white vinegar and then scrub the wire with a green scrubbie thing.

I used pickle on the ones I made yesterday... perfectly clean and pink! I am thinking about using a little patina solution on them for an antique copper finish.
I had so much fun making them that I'm going to make 36 more today!

Sharon, I love those earrings! And the ones on those little springs, so cool!
Tracy, those are really pretty!
Kalera, those came out great! 36?!? Wow!
These took me a couple days. It's not all I did but still....
Just before epoxying. I knew I wanted dangles for a bracelet and earrings so I just went ahead and did loops.
