Making New Earrings

I want to share what it takes to make my bark earrings. First a visit to the forest....
This shows how red pine bark fractures in faceted segments. No trees were harmed in making these earrings. I take a sustainable amount that would soon have fallen off anyway. 
I lay them all out to find pieces with similar color, size, and shape. They are cleaned up and finished with a clear protective coat. 
In pairs with possible feather combinations.
A few finished pairs!
