Want a challenge? Check out this wire wrapped pearl hoop earrings tutorial by CrystalsandClay. It is an intermediate to advanced wire project. Not only do you have to make 4 earring wire frames, these have to be identical as well. The wire work incorporates the earring post as well as the catch for it at the back.
This instructor uses a black marker pen to mark where she needs to bend the wire. You can use rubbing alcohol from the drug store to remove these marks.
Notice she uses a cup bur or wire rounder tool to file down the rough wire ends.
The instructor also has an accompanying blog tutorial - useful for those who prefer static instructions.

those are gorgeous! I'm not much of a wire worker, although years of being an orthodontic assistant taught me a lot about wire, but I may just have to try these!
