Book earrings and peace book pendants


2019 Barry Smith - Small (about 1.8cm X 1.2cm) silver-plated book earrings - solid silver hooks
During the week and today I have grabbed time to make more book earrings for the shop at Compassion Artists' Book Exhibition. A few photos of the work in progress follow.

2019 Barry Smith - Each pair of earrings has a compassion related word stamped on a page of both earrings
2019 Barry Smith - Nine pairs of earrings - riveted and ready for grinding and polishing - each pair is kept separated as are the left and right earring
I managed to complete 9 pairs of the earrings that are now boxed and tagged ready for delivery to the Nambour Old Ambo Gallery tomorrow afternoon.

I will also deliver 5 Peace Book Pendants given peace is an integral part of compassion.

Weather permitting I will get to finish polishing the Leaf Spoons and Leaf Pate Knives for Maleny Additions over the weekend.
