We're All Ears Challenge Reveal

So  I consider these earrings to be somewhat Serendipitous because I got a special order for these components. While I'm in the process of making them I take a look at the We're All Ears Reveal today and I thought...the shape and texture of these earrings actually mirrors the challenge picture in some ways so off I went!

I had a short piece of Sari Silk that had beautiful muted colors in Autumn shades that reminded me of the colors of the Canyon.

So I wrapped the Silk around the top of the components and decided a tiny bit of sparkle would be a good addition so I roughly added the seed beads in the same colors around the silk.

I think I'll call these earrings Serendipity!

I'm very happy with the results and I think I'm going to try to make more with different colors!!!

These earrings are available to purchase HERE.

These components are available HERE.

Thank you!

Casting

For the last couple of months I've been collecting the things I need to start Pewter Casting. I found this tutorial by Anvil Artifacts that does it in a different way. I still intend to start casting in Pewter but right now I'm having fun playing with this technique using Lead Free Base Metal.

Here are a few of my very first pieces.

And I love headpins like so many of you out there do so I had to try some headpins. I took some polymer clay pieces and made molds of them and then cast them.

Included are 2 pine cone tops I recently molded and I'm making some Copper pmc pieces from them as well. But while I was looking through my molds to see what I might be able to play with these seemed an obvious choice and they turned out well.

I couldn't resist using the little round Ammonite headpins to make earrings.

I added some of my favorite little O'Sullivan beads and a tiny bit of Sari Silk.

Aladdin's Lamp

Aladdin's Lamp

I did not buy this Sari Silk or these Lampwork beads (by BeadAddicts) with the intention of putting them together but as soon as I saw them near each other on my table I knew what I wanted to do!

Maybe I should have saved these for the Earrings Everyday blog but I could not wait to share them.

I'm really digging Sari Silk lately and I love stacking beads one on top of another in some way and I also don't often make earrings without using some of my components,

but I think these are perfect just as they are!

They are listed HERE on Etsy!
