What does this Art Teacher do on a Snow Day? Torch Enamel Penny Earrings!

I may have an earring obsession. For Christmas, my Dad gave me a dapping doming punch set. Which meant I would finally break down and buy myself a culinary torch so I could add some color to my jewelry metals. While researching I discovered other artists using pennies to enamel. PERFECT size and shape for more earrings.

And some shots of my enameled penny earrings with SS earwires. I posted these babies on etsy. Click on the word etsy to see them. (Might take a few favorites for myself.)
