The school term for 2010 is in its second week and I'm as busy as always but I managed to steal a bit of time experimenting with wire crochet. I taught myself to crochet years ago and I was using yarn to crochet table mats, table runners, etc. but have not tried crocheting with wire. So, these two simple earrings is the outcome from the experiment.
This one (above) is round in shape and crochetted with 28 gauge (silver artistic wire) which is thinner and easier to control and very light in weight but this pair (below) done with 26 gauge (brass artistic wire) is a little harder to crochet. I've used turquoise flat coin bead (other beads could be used) to adorn the middle part of the earring.
That's me looking at the wonderful and beautiful orchids. The ones that you see that have been tied with string has been sold but waiting to be delivered to customers. 
My son, the expert choosing the best orchid plant !
And that's my daughter, admiring the blooms.

This teardrop shape turquoise cabochon (30cm x 25cm) was constructed with copper colored artistic wire and I've added a corrugated bead to form as part of the bail.
