Still On An Earring Kick

I’m kind of liking making earrings. Even though I have to make two the same, it’s not that bad. Would be easier if I drew out the designs prior to making the first one but when I start out, I’m not sure what I’m making until the first earring is done.

Hammered with a simple curl and a pink quartz bead.

These heart earrings will hang slanted.

Some kind of quartz square beads and some green stone beads that I had laying around.

Another set of hoops with etched glass beads and some brass and nickel spacers.

I decided to take a picture of each pair of earring right after I make them. Trying to hang them and take a picture didn’t work. I think these are better.

Earrings – Yes Earrings

I don’t usually make earrings. There’s something about making the exact same thing twice that I just don’t like. I don’t mind similar but most people want earrings to match. I’ve done my best here even though these are the crappiest pictures I’ve taken in a while.

I had to retake this picture, it was so bad. I love Biwa pearls. Hopefully other people do too.

I bought these mother of pearl buttons a while ago. Never knew what to do with them. A few jump rings and a little round gemstone bead works well with the buttons, don’t you think?

These are hard to see. They are drilled river rocks. I tried to match them up as well as I could. And by this time, I got tired of making the same earring so I did the wires all different on these.

More round pearl – it’s hard to tell those are pearls and another set that I made round earrings and threaded some beads onto it. Easy peasy.

Also, some clip charms that never got posted.

Tiny Owls and a Little Kitty

Just got a few beads made yesterday.

These owls are smaller than my previous ones. They look like babies. The little kitty doesn’t belong but wants to be friends with the owls.

More Clip Charms

Made more beads for clip charms. Glad these are easy and quick to make.

Got a couple of other beads done. I’m kind of liking the bee bead. It’s just too cute!!

Clip On Charms

I made a bunch of random beads for cell phone/zipper pulls last night:

I quickly put together these clip on charms. I think the clip gives them more versatility. And they are quick to make. Going to work on more beads like this tonight.

Bead Show Donation

I have to donate something to the bead show I’m doing soon so I made a set of big beads with big holes in them. I was planning on coring them with silver tubing but since these all go together I made them into a set.
