Just a couple of cute earrings that I made for myself. I don’t like big flashy earrings and I always prefer a simple design. These are made with a white glass bead, two golden brass disks, a purple chrystal and, of coruse, some brass wire.
Last Christmas Earrings #1
5 FebHere is a pair of earrings I made for a friend as Christmas gift. The box is also made by me with recycled cardboard, some washi tape and a self-printed sticker with my personal handmade stamp on it.
[Copper wire, tinted jade and crystals]
Clips
1 FebSome time ago, my friend Simona, who is my best and basically *only* client, ordered me a pair of earrings as birthday gift for a colleague.
As I was experimenting with wire and beads I showed her a pair of earrings I was working on and she decided for them straight away.
Since her colleague doesn’t have her ears pierced the most difficult thing in this project was to find some decent clips for the earrings.
The box is also made by me with recycled cardboard.
[brass wire and green iridescent seed beads]
Experimenting
29 JanIn my incessant research of learning new technique I stumbled upon one which involves, once again, wire and beads. There was this pin coming up all the times on my Pinterest and I decided to give it a try. My result is far from being as nice as the one on Pinterest but this was just a first attempt….
[Light blue bugle glass seed beads, copper wire and cultivated pearls.]
Earrings for a birthday
9 JanI recently made this pair of earrings for a friend’s birthday. I really like this style and I may think to make a whole collection out of it….
Again, this is hammered brass, which this time I decorated piercing some holes, with cultivated pearls.
I also made good use (or at least I think so), of the brand new stamp I recently carved. I’m quite proud of the whole thing. 😄
Christmas purchase order 2
31 DecHere is another “made to order” gift. I have been asked to make it to match with a necklace that I made before….
As for the necklace I used blue crystal, Korean Jasper, amethyst, red crystal and red/orange agate.
