Fan earrings 14

In this picture I have soldered silver wire to the fan element, this is just a prototype to see how the silver wire will look with the copper once it has been coloured with the blue-green patina, the silver will give it a more precious appeal.

Here is the final variation, I preferred this more to the previous one but needs more developing as the proportions are strange.

This was another playful variation, I quite liked the geometric lines that are formed by the cris-crossing wires.

I think this is the most successful variant which is the same as the previous one but with a ring on the top. There is something about this design that I really like, it has a mystical feel the way the wires meander and twirl amongst each other and somewhat represents a mothering angelic figure. I will be working with and developing this design.

In this variation I have used two separate wires which intersect and meet at a point, I prefer the pointed tip to the rounded tip in the previous variation.

Here I have widened the loop which creates an appealing effect which somewhat resembles a fan-tailed fish shape.

In this experiment decided for interest’s sake to cut the wires. This seems to give it a more finished look.
