Beaded Earrings

Lately I just can't get enough of beaded earrings.  There was a time I never made them, having to make two and all, I worried about second earring syndrome and being bored making two.  However one of the advantages of component design is often you end up with extra components and what better way to make a pair of earrings.

This pair were destined for a necklace, the center focal of which is ten spines around, I made two nine spine elements and decided I preferred the simplicity of the necklace as it stood.  What to do with two extra?  Make earrings of course.  I love that these swing from chain and I love the carribean blue opal with the chocolate brown.

This pair is part of a new series that I have done, making both a necklace and bracelet.  I was playing with color and deciding which beads to use, so these two if you look closely actually have different color beads.  I love the Tierra Cast Earwires where I can add a coordinating accent bead.

 Both pairs have distinctly different styles which I love. Bold and dramatic vs. Soft and romantic, an earring for every occasion!
