Pagoda Earrings Pattern Download

Description

Janice is inspired by the graceful contours found in traditional Japanese motifs. The wire-wrapped framework of these jeweled earrings is based on the graceful curves of a pagoda. She likes to focus on form when teaching and has found that subtle movements of the pliers will dramatically change the appearance of the wire.
