The Unexpected Earrings

I took some of those sweet little stretched circles from yesterday and nipped out a section at the top.

Did a bit of reshaping, filing, and sanding with a smidgen of drilling and fusing and came up with these...

All-in-all a good days work.
Another good day.

Something Unexpected....

Today I wanted to experiment more with domed shapes with openings in them. I started by cutting out a circle of copper and cut another circle out of that then my plan was to dome it and join 2 together to make a round clam-shaped sort of thing with a hole all the way through it.

I positioned the hole off center and because I cut out the hole before I domed it, the perfect circle stretched into a teardrop shape. I wasn't thinking that would happen but as soon as it did I thought "of course!" ~~Metal always follows the path of least resistance. Always.

So I wound up making several of these to play with tomorrow.
Earrings....? Pendants...?
Hmmmmmm.

What will you be?

The shape after dapping

It came to me today... when they are rounded out (dapped or domed) they're like mangoes.

These are destined to be earrings....maybe.....
