Today I'm playing along with the We're All Ears Challenge for August on the Earrings Everyday site. Our challenge this month is to create earrings evoking a campfire.
Here's a pic from the challenge:

I created earrings that capture the glow and warmth of the fire and these memories. I happened to be working with some copper sheet and had cut and hammered some rectangles. These make a reflective backdrop for some swinging Swarovski crystals. A wire-wrapped wood bead represents the firewood and contrasts with the copper and crystal.

Here's a couple of photos that shows the reflection of the crystals on the copper.
