Laugh Loud / Smile Wide  – Hand stamped on heads up side of these shinny copper pennies.  I’ve seen these done before and always wanted to give them a try.  How fun is it to decide what to stamp?

If you do stamping at all, you should give this a try.  One of my kids thought “Worthless” was a good idea.  LOL, at least the materials are only pennies.

The wires are my creations.  I use RIO GRANDE’S excellent half hard 20g silver filled wire for most of my earring findings.  It’s easy to shape and holds a shape without need for tumbling or hammering.
