Metal stamping is one of my favorite things to do. The lighting isn't very good in this photo. The edges of the Sterling Silver bar is textured. I did that so the light catches it and gives it a sparkle.
I made knotted headpins. Not a favorite thing to do but a flat one looked blah and the rounded one looked odd. So I got out my Sterling Silver wire and made knotted head pins. You can find out how to make them yourself by going to YouTube and typing in "knotted headpins". There's several great tutorials there. Well, there was a few years ago anyway. I don't think tutorials like that are ever removed, are they?
I used some Potato Pearls for the earrings and the drop. The charm is a Sterling Silver lotus blossom. No, I did not make it. I wish I were that talented!
It was a fun project. I am making a few of these for gifts. I am also looking for a different lotus blossom and when I find it I will be making more of these to put in my web store.
