All I made were a pair of earrings.

I brought all my tools, a ton of wire and a good selection of crystals and stones with me to Australia, and all I made were a pair of garnet and Swarovski clear AB faceted oval earrings, which are modelled after these Wearable Sculpture earrings:

















Oh well. In Tasmania (Cradle Mountain, to be exact), a little girl came up to me while I was wearing these earrings and asked me where I got them. She looked a bit stunned when I said that I made them (but she may have simply misunderstood what I was saying because I did have a completely different accent than what she's used to).

Oh, these came out nice! Welcome back, btw. :)

Thank you on both counts! I'm trying to improve my wire bending abilities so that I can make a pendant or bracelet for you and other friends/family members for whom wearing earrings is problematic.
