Poppy headpin challenge - task completion

You may remember recently I entered the poppy headpin challenge started by Jo Tinley over on Daisychain Designs.

Well - I agonised over what to make with the two copper poppy headpins Jo sent me. They were so lovely I wanted to do them justice and that thought seemed to stifle the creative process.

Finally, today, the day of the deadline, I galvanlised myself into action and got going. I decided to make a simple pair of delicate earrings. And here they are .....

I made some simple copper headpins and some silver links, threaded some carnelion and turquoise chips onto my copper headpins, made some silver earwires and the earrings were done. They need a bit more polishing but I wanted to get them on display as soon as possible.

Now I can go and see what everyone else in the challenge has made. If you want to pay them a visit I've listed their blogs below.

I love the earrings. Using the poppies as drops worked so well with the other beads. I love the color.
