Yes, I know, behind already! I had the day at home yesterday due to a temporary closure at my work place so I spent the day in the yard doing hard labour. While I was doing some tidying up, I spotted some ficus branches that I had pruned from my plant and thrown off the deck in the winter. I noticed that a good amount of fibre was showing under the bark and it had just the perfect amount of moisture to come off easily so I stopped to strip all the branches for papermaking. Now my live plant is in danger of severe pruning!

Today, I made some Boho style earrings. I hammered these copper pennies to flatten them and then used a brass embossing template from my scrapbooking days and the ball end of my hammer to create the hearts. The patina is from a gas torch. Banded Agate, Tiger's Eye and copper beads on sterling silver wire and sterling silver ear wires complete the pair.

These will show up in my Etsy shop in the next day or two.
