:) a dlaczego akurat Wiatrak ? świetny tutek :) gratuluje

I really like these earrings. Very soon I WILL MAKE a pair. This beginner likes a challenge!

byreverie - nazwa zupelnie spontaniczna :-) Dziekuje

McPherson - thank you, I can't wait when i see :-)

Zyta, Is a butane torch definitely needed to complete these earrings? I do not have one don't think I would be safe with one!!

McPerson, you have to make *round form* only for this you need it/see photo nr4/. If you have ready form, you dont need.

Today when particularly technique wire-wrapping is so popular it is very hard to make something different because I work very hard (like all designers of jewelery) to create own unique style This is my aim to be: unique, specific, original I don't want to come into conflict with everyone I don't see anything wrong in using meshed backgrounds as many do it and I understand you added the mesh to your own style. But when you did, it looks like one of my creations. (You add also the swirls and everything, which makes the earrings look like one of my creations) I'm sure it wasn't your intention, but that is how I feel...

Joanna, I want to clarify that more than one artist has come up with this technique independently. Meshed background with filigree is nothing new, in fact, it is based on needlelace techniques which are hundreds of ears old.
