Far East Steampunk Earrings
steampunk-inspired dangly earrings with a Oriental flair

I used a bunch of random beads and leftovers from other projects for these; the gold charms are Chinese dragons, and then I used mismatching pieces of toggles as additional charms. The cinnabar beads (that I found in a Michaels dollar bin a few months ago) are shaped like fans, hence the "Oriental" bent.
*(This is a simple project for anyone who makes beaded jewelry often, however, it does involve bending pins and wires into loops, something I had a hard time with the first few goes at it)
