PIF: Handmade Pierced Earrings

[amdewitt]

I just found the group for artists that make jewelry on this forum and had an idea. :idea: Making earrings is my favorite! Let's do an Pierced Earring PIF! I only work with sterling silver and gold filled because of my sensitive skin:wub:

So, the way it would work, the first person (me) would offer up a pair of hand made pierced earrings. The person claiming that pair of earrings, would offer up a pair that they make, and so on! Please mail the earrings that were claimed from you within 2 weeks.

So.............

Who would like a pair from me?

[cdraz/ceedee]

I would, Amdewitt.........................and who would like a pair from me?

[Sunswirlgirl]

Oh, me, me, me!!!!
So the post part has to be sterling or gold filled - the rest doesn't have to be, right?
Who wants my pair?

[mrubyjean]

I'd love a pair from you, Rachel!
(And my ears are tough :jimlad:..base metal findings are fine)

Who wants a pair from me?

[jensaz]

mrubyjean, I'd love your earrings, my ears are also tough ;)

who would like a pair from moi???

[Sunswirlgirl]

Can i be up again? if so, i'd love a pair from you, jensaz!

[amdewitt]

Sure you can be up again!!!

I would love one from you Sunswirlgirl

Who would like one from me?. Let me know if you want gold filled earwires or ball posts with a loop for dangles or sterling silver wires or ball posts with a loop for dangles

[The Mad Catter]

hi Angela! I posted in the 'social group thread' but I know how we all can overlook checking in there so I thought I would ask here...

I would love to join in on the fun here but I have a preference for 'leverback' earrings, is it rude to request a certain kind? I understand if it's not a good idea but I would really like to play! :)

[Sunswirlgirl]

hey Cat! i have some leverback's but they are just silver plated. if that's cool with you, i'd love to make you a pair!

[The Mad Catter]

those are great! I don't have a metal issue just the wires...everything but leverbacks get so knotted up in my hair...

now...I have reg. wires and leverbacks that I can do right now...anyone want a pair from me?

[amdewitt]

I apoligize for not getting back to you sooner as yesterday was a day from "you know where".....But I see you guys have it worked out. So that's great!!!!

The Mad Catter still up

[The Mad Catter]

all good angela, I know how those days are! no worries! :)

Anyone want a pair from me?

[mrubyjean]

I would love a pair from you, Mad Catter!

I'm on a roll...who would like a pair from me?

[rkolig]

Mrubyjean, I'd love a pair from you. Are the earwires silver? I do have sensitive ears.

Who would like a pair from me?

[rkolig]

Question, do you all think it would be a good idea for people to post what their earrings look like when they offer them?

I personally think that would be helpful. Mostly cuz I don't look good in big giant earrings. I'm too short. LOL

[cdraz/ceedee]

sure, MadCatter post a pic please..............................

[The Mad Catter]

here ya go! just a pic from the web, not an earring I made!

[jensaz]

Rkolig, I would like your earrings...

Since that makes me up AGAIN... Who wants some from me??

[rkolig]

I'm ready to mail my earrings to Jensaz. The scan doesn't look very good, but here they are. Small carnelian beads woven together with sterling wire and sterling silver earwires.

Up again is Jensaz.

[rkolig]

BTW, I'm moving this thread to Mail Art Trades.

Up still is Jensaz. LOL

Hey if nothing else, the reposts bump up the thread and maybe more people will see it. LOL

[mrubyjean]

rkolig ~ your earrings are done and I'll mail them tomorrow...so...

jensaz ~ I'd love a pair of yours!

Who would like a pair from me?

[Chronata]

I would love a pair from you, mrubyjean!

(no special requests...I like everything!)

Who wants a pair from me?

I can do regular or sterling earwires!

[Sunswirlgirl]

oh goodness, i just realized i made The Mad Catter leverback earrings but i think i jumped in. i'm so confused. lol

[The Mad Catter]

it's okay rachel, I'm the leverback lady!

[mrubyjean]

Sunswirlgirl ~ Looking back in the thread, it looks like you are fine...you made earrings for Mad Catter, then she is making earrings for me...and onward...

Right now, Chronata is still up...

[The Mad Catter]

yep, and Martha yours will be ready to ship about Monday! will post photo soon! :)

[mrubyjean]

Thank you, Mad Catter!

Chronata is still up...



Who wants a pair from me?

I can do regular or sterling earwires!

[topacelot]

I'd love some from Chronata :)

Who would like a pair from me? Think I have regular hooks

[Sunswirlgirl]

wait, i am sooo confused. so far i am getting earrings from cdraz and making earrings for mrubyjean - getting earrings from jensaz and making earrings for amdewitt - making earrings for The Mad Catter

[mrubyjean]

Oh, yeah..I went back and read the exchange more carefully...I think you are right, sunswirlgirl...I think noone took amdewitt's offer right before you jumped in...and then Mad Catter took your offer and I took hers. Is amdewitt making earrings for you?!

topacelot is still up now ( I think)...

[KatieV]

PIFs are a lot easier to keep up with if you don't chat in the threads! :)

If you HAVE to chat in the thread, you need to repost who's up again so other people understand what's going on.

Topacelot is still up (as far as I can tell!!)

[rkolig]

Awwww Katie. Of course we're gonna chatter. We'll just have to remember to say who's still up.

OK, since I've mailed the other pair out, I'm ready to jump in again.

Topacelot I'd love a pair of yours.

Who would like this pair? Sterling silver woven with genuine garnet beads.

Here's where we're at:

Amdewitt -> ceedee
ceedee -> sunswirlgirl
sunswirlgirl -> mrubyjean
mrubyjean -> jensaz
jensaz -> sunswirlgirl
sunswirlgirl -> amdewitt
amdewitt -> sunswirlgirl
sunswirlgirl -> madcatter
madcatter -> mrubyjean
mrubyjean -> rkolig (mailed)
rkolig -> jensaz (mailed)
jensaz -> mrubyjean
mrubyjean -> chronata
chronata -> topacelot
topacelot -> rkolig
rkolig -> ??

[The Mad Catter]

okay...so I don't send mine to mrubyjean? I send them to sunswirlgirl instead?

[rkolig]

Oh geez, now you all are getting me confused. Let me go look again.

The offerer mails to the one following..........

[rkolig]

OK the prob started with the lever backs.

Sunswirlgirl has leverbacks, so she's making some for MadCatter
Amdewitt is making for ??

OK, that's the problem. Amdewitt's is hanging.

Solution? If Amdewitt mails to mrubyjean. I think that would do it.

[rkolig]

No that doesn't work. The only way we can make this work without confusing everyone is to insert sunswirlgirl again.

amdewitt will send to sunswirgirl and sunswirlgirl will send to MadCatter

Does that work?

[The Mad Catter]

hahaha, it does for me... :)

[rkolig]

That does mean that sunswirlgirl owes 3 pair now tho (mrubyjean, madcatter & amdewitt). Sunswirlgirl you good with that?

If that's figured out then we can go back to our regularly scheduled trades. LOL

I'm still up. Who would like earrings from me? (pic above)

[amdewitt]

:wub:I will send to sunswirl girl Now, I believe

rkolig is up :swoon:right?

[Sunswirlgirl]

Ok, gosh, yep, that sounds good. I owe 3 pair (mrubyjean, madcatter & amdewitt) and amdewitt mails to me for my mistake in jumping in and messing things up. sorry guys :eek:
rkolig is up (pic above)

[rkolig]

Phew. We're all set.
