That looks like the wire that secures toys to the cardboard packaging. I didn’t think I could hate that stuff more than when I’m trying to liberate a Barbie. This crap takes my animosity to a new level.
I’m working on a pair of these as we speak. They’re made out of wire too – barbed wire. It may hurt to wear them, but the blood that comes out of those cuts will attract the vampire/werewolf of your dreams, making it all better. xoxo

Does the pubic hair on the piano key come with or is it just there to enhance the spectacular paper clips to hang upon your ear or nose or wherever the fuck kids who watch Edward are hanging their shit?
I like to think that those stunning E J earrings were photographed on the actual piano that Edward composed on with his actual schlong. I mean that pube is all the proof i need.
Aside from the sheer craptastic fuckery of these earrings, the filth factor of those piano keys is an affront to everyone who plays the piano. Or who actually just lives….
“Materials: wire, reading all the twilight books,” at least this “artist” read the books, unlike that lazy bitch who made the Lady Chatterly’s Lover top.
ok ma’am, hand over the pliers and step away from the piano. we’re charging you for cruelty to office supplies and for assault on the senses, common and otherwise.
i see things like this and sometimes i want to take my jeweller’s bench and all my torches and hammers and files and drills and throw them all out of a window and then follow them
I bought a jewelry repair kit a few years ago and it included several types of wire for different types of jewelry in need of repair.
And here I thought that the wire was for putting beads or some other decoration on. I had no clue I could twist the wire up in an old tape deck, slap a dangle hook on it and sell it!
I know what my kids are doing on their Christmas break! “No, hearts, twisted with wire! Its VALENTINE’S FUCKERY! Just make ‘em and I’ll loosen the shackles!”
I am SO gonna buy these for E.J. Dionne! They’re perfect for him, amirite?
…You know, E.J. Dionne of the Washington Post? …Senior Fellow at Brookings Institution? …Shows up on NPR and MSNBC a lot? Okay, now I see some heads nodding! You were just having me on with those blank looks, weren’t ya.
As a wire artist, I am appalled that anyone would have the audacity to try and sell something this terrible. If she had any sense of pride in a job well done, she’d delete every single item in this shop and try and sell something she is good at, has practiced and perfected techniques for and not something so incredibly embarrassing and obviously something she just picked up recently.
I absolutely had to share this picture. I picked up my kids from school and my 16 YO daughter said, “Look what Stefan made for me in metal arts class!” & showed me the earrings I’ve posted below. Stefan will be 17 years old next month. I whipped out my mobile phone, brought up Regretsy & showed them the “EJ” crap. (I repeat- 17 years old!)
This reminds me of the time when I was young and full of curiousity. Those little metal needle threaders. An occasional paperclip(the super sized ones) and once, even a butter knife.
Electrical sockets….making life just a little more intersting.
(Just don’t stand near the Christmas tree.)
I’ve made wire wrapped jewellery, and this is not what it’s meant to look like….
And even if it was, it would still be an “E” and a “J” hanging from your ears…
I’m seeing an awkward scene at the airport…
Bailing wire setting off metal detectors, followed by an uncomfortable inspection–to make sure the wiring doesn’t lead to charges hidden behind the ears. Passing through the x-ray, a tray of crumpled wiring reaches the end of the conveyor. Under the cautious gaze of travelers, will anybody claim it?
I hope she’s a better musician than a jewelery designer, although probably not.
Perhaps she’s a burned out orthodontist who kept all the old braces for when she retired and had time on her hands.
“I drink many cups of tea while creating my designs”
…
Tea?!? Really!? Or is it loads of cheap vodka?
I don’t like to call things “ugly” usually,
I really don’t. But it’s passed constructive criticism.
These are UGLY. Ugly, ugly, ugly, ugly!
1. The copper wire-wrapped bracelet shown in the link at #47 is gorgeous.
2. #52 (PAtty) Stefan is a talented kid; those are cuuute.
3. I don’t get it – what’s up with the (filthy) piano-key backdrop on all these? Does she not own one single sheet of plain white paper to sit them on for photos?
These not only are an offence for talented wire wrap artists, but for ANY serious crafter! She has perverted the term handmade. OMG! Someone needs to tell her how much she SUCKS at this, and to move on to something she can actually do, if there is anything.
Maybe if she made them with her tongue – you know – like tying up a cherry stem.
They would still be ugly, but at least it would be somewhat of an accomplishment.
Kind of.

I am convinced with all the pubic hair on the Piano that:
A) She creates these earrings while naked
B) She is really talented and can play piano with her ass
C) These were photographed at the Strip Club after her gig on top of an innocent piano that never asked for that

Looking at the deeper meaning, the artist continues to emphasize the “chastity” theme that Twilight arguably invokes. These handcrafted wire-hanger earrings whisper “ABORTION” as a consequence to me.
Yet another subtle puritanical message brought to you from the purveyors of Twilight memorabilia.
Perfect for double bellybutton piercings. E and J hanging over my Gloria Vanderbilt jeans, sweet! Young fellas will know this is serious Cougar territory.
I swear to God, if she sells these craptacular atrocities, I’m going to plunge my chain-nose pliers into my chest, slash my wrists with my slant-cut wire nippers, and die a spectacular death on the floor of my jewelry studio, cursing this “artist” with my last breath.
one earring is an E (that would be the one on the left), and one earring is a J (that would be the one NOT on the left). i will soon be returning with more upcycled wire-hanger art jewelry, but first i have to take a kindergarten alphabet class.
