I have had lots of fun combining more than one bead to make earrings this week. I still have a few days to go, but today’s pair of earrings is super sparkly!
Sparkly wine bottle earrings
Month: May 2018
Champagne and gin earrings
Similar style to yesterday’s earrings, but this time with different beads. I have used beads that I have made from champagne, Bombay Sapphire Gin and Tanqueray Gin bottles. Love the colours in this pair.
Classic timeless earrings
I love the contrasting shape and colour in these Gin and Tonic earrings.
The top bead is from a Fever-Tree tonic bottle, decorated with smashed up glass. The bottom bead is from a Hendricks Gin bottle. Love the shape of this bead, and together it become a classic timeless pair of earrings that I think could be worn for a very long time.
May Colour Play #4
Hope you have enjoyed colour play for May! I enjoyed making the beads and the jewellery. Now it’s time for the last of the necklaces, this time with a green theme.
Sparkly Hendricks Gin Earrings
Hidden inside yesterday’s post is a pair of earrings that I made with two different beads. I don’t often put two beads together, and yet every time I do I wonder “why don’t I do this more often?”
This week my challenge is to make earrings with two beads! I’m actually looking forward to seeing what I come up with, hope you are too.
Day 146 and 147
I missed a day of making this week, so today I made two pieces to make up for it. I have used beer bottle beads to make a simple, but lovely necklace and earrings.
Bombay Sapphire Gin earrings
Today I am sharing a slightly new style of Bombay Sapphire Gin earrings.
Luscious
I love it when I have all of my recycled glass beads out on my desk and I can see them all, and start working across the colours, instead of just using one single colour.
This luscious bracelet is what happens:
Beads made from: Hendricks Gin, Coopers Ale, Pink Depression Glass, and 2 old purple glasses.
Change one thing…
I’m slightly obsessed with the idea of changing one thing in a design to create a completely new thing! It kind of started with these bracelets (bracelet 1, bracelet 2, bracelet 3, bracelet 4).
And today I have done it again with two pairs of earrings. I have used the same beads, and the same hand-formed/textured rings, but by changing the position of the beads I have created two very different pairs of earrings.
I’m definitely going to be trying more ideas like this, it’s so much fun, and the results are super cool.
A customer request for a blue/green necklace
I have been sharing lots of photos of jewellery that I have made from Bombay Sapphire and Tanqueray Gin bottle beads, and last week I shared this photo.
I had a lovely response from one customer who then asked if I could make a necklace without the rings, so I have made this necklace to see if it’s what she is looking for. Fingers crossed.
