So pretty!! I really like the drops of solder at the ends, adds a really nice touch!

Thank You! I scanned my stain glass instead of taking pix w/digi, seems to work out better. The overall size of the butterfly is about 5", it's a suncatcher.
You have some very nice pieces on your page, the leaf earrings are great. What kind of metal did you make them from, and are they cast, or tooled? Quite interesting idea with the long wires.

Ooh, nice size. Taking pics of glass is so hard! I ended up draping a white cloth over a lamp, and the suncatcher over that
The leaf earrings made from copper sheet, 'it with an 'ammer and them polished and etched, with silver wire soldered to the back. I'm developing the long wires into a theme - when I can get the little bits of wire to stop running away under the blowtorch, I'll be posting more Cheers!
