Lotus Earrings

My new obsession is Lotus, Lotus Flower, Lotus Root!! I recently made some new pieces inspired by these and shared them last week in this Blog Post. I should have made more because I immediately wanted to save the 1 pair I made of each of these to create jewelry,
 but I'm working on more and the components are available for Pre-Order in my Etsy Shop.

Here are the earrings I created using these new components.

Using gorgeous Headpins by GeneaBeads that looks like water or dew drops and I think are a perfect combination to these Copper Lotus Flowers.

Here are the Lotus Root Pinwheel earrings.

Both pair are available in my Etsy Shop.

New Obsession

Somehow I got myself on a Lotus kick, Lotus Flower, Lotus Root and along with that I've had a Hamsa design in the back of my mind for awhile so I did that too. Found the shapes I liked and drew them freehand on to the scratch foam, ya that scratch foam again!! Love that stuff!
 It's opened up a whole new world for me and there's so much more I can do with it,
 just have to find the time!

Here's the Lotus Flower,
simple and beautiful.

I didn't even put holes in them because I couldn't figure out where I wanted them, I'll add them now.

And here's the Lotus, such an interesting shape.



I can see these used as a disc or strung through one of the outer holes.


Here's my Hamsa!

I didn't want to put a bail or use hump rings so I made it so I can wrap wire around and attach earwire across. Only made one pair (for me!!) until I saw how they came out. I'll make more and hopefully somebody besides me will want to work with them.
They are 1.75" long and 1.25 across at the widest point.

In all my searching for Hamsa I never saw it done in this way so I think this is something new and fresh.
I hope you like them.

One last thing to share, not so new but...


Elephants are now in pairs and ready to ship!
