Innovative Wire Wrapped Earrings by Arrabeska Posted: 12 Jun 2012 04:00 AM PDT Earrings are my most favorite things to make.  Many people share this liking but few can match the incredible virtuosity of Polish designer, Paulina Kozak.  Earring designs dominate her Etsy store, Arrabeska. She uses a wide variety of materials including wire, wood, fabric and leather. Her exquisite wire wrapped designs are particularly innovative. Some are geometric and contemporary in look. All show her flair for design and her skill in meticulous wire work. Paulina's creations are joy to see and to appreciate.  Shown here are my favorites. The first design above particularly captured my attention.  As you can see it is more than okay to mix metals!  What a truly inspiring designer!
