Cotton Candy

I have 2 new pair of earrings to share with you today!

Cotton Candy
The focal point of both earrings are amazing Lampwork Beads by Andrea Guarino-Slemmons.
Above I used a pair of my Copper Paisley Headpins and a Czech Glass Bead.

SOLD

In this pair I used Gorgeous Lampwork Headpins by UgliBeads and a little bit of Sari Silk,
I'd have a difficult time choosing a favorite!
Both pair are listed in my Etsy Shop.

Spikes

Bronze Age Spike Earrings
I'm having a love affair with these amazing rough crystal points!
Above I combined these beautiful lampwork beads with a very subtle scroll design with Bronze Coated Crystal Points from


Aurora Borealis Spike Earrings

The next day I woke up in the middle of the night thinking about these. I recently received these amazing Lampwork Beads from BeadFairy and I knew I had these AB Coated Crystals in my stash that would be the perfect match. I actually resisted getting up in the middle of the night to make them but I did make them as soon as I got up!

Now I'm digging through my work table to see what other crystals I have hiding that I might be able to put together more of these cool earrings!

All listed in my Etsy Shop.
I'm putting together an Indimade shop so watch for it in the near future!

The show venue was absolutely gorgeous! This was the view from my pop up.


During the day I wandered over to this lovely area and was lucky enough to spot this Cedar Waxwing, only the second time I've seen one and I was able to get a much better picture of this one!

AJE Earring Challenge Reveal 22 Weeks 45-46/52

It's the Art Jewelry Elements Earring Challenge reveal again!!
Only a few more left before the end of the year.
I've been busy, I know I won't catch up I don't even know how close I am to making a total of 52 pair this year but I think I'm close.

Fuschia Fantasy
These start out with gorgeous Headpins from SueBeads, stacked with Freshwater Pearls and a Czech Glass bead on top. Wrapped a little brightly colored Sari Silk roughly with copper to finish them off.


Tribal X

Some Copper drops and Bone Beads all with X's on them topped with a little Turquoise Square.

Mystic Wand
Copper Feathers snugged up to wonderful Ceramic/Porcelain tubes from O'Sullivan and heavily wrapped with Copper Wire. A bright Turquoise Square on top!


Fuscia Disc

Another set of amazing Lampwork Headpins from SueBeads dangling from one of my brightly colored Polymer Clay discs again roughly wrapped in Sari Silk and Copper Wire.

Stalactite
Incredible Headpins from Lori Lochner. They are such statement pieces on their own I wanted to do something fairly simple to enhance. I've been using Sari Silk in so many of my designs lately and it worked out perfectly for these Stalactite Earrings!


Lollipop earrings using Glass Headpins from Numinosity, I made a ring on top and wrapped it with Sari Silk and lots of Copper wire.

All of these earrings are availabe in either my Etsy or Artfire shops.

The time flies by between reveals.
It's week 13 and here is the AJE Earring Challenge REVEAL!!

My first pair is all about purple.
Purple Polymer Clay Flowers paired with gorgeous Purple beads from Wandering Spirit.

The gorgeous firey Lampwork headpins are the star of the show on my second pair.
I teamed them up with some Ammonite bits in Polymer Clay at a 90 degree angle.
