Month: September 2020

Day 263. Rainbow happiness for your Sunday. I am really enjoying trying new ways of making these mismatched rainbow earrings 🌈

Day 262. Lucky find in the bead box today. Same same, but different, I have been enjoying making mismatched earrings this year!

Day 261. Around now I start wondering what colours are going to feature in the shops this season? Is it going to be an orange season I wonder? There always seems to be one or two really interesting colours for the season. Have you seen anything in the shops that caught your eye?

Day 261. Pretty flower stud earrings made from a Bombay Sapphire Gin bottle.

Day 260. Playing with gin and tonic earring ideas. I like the etched and shiny contrast of the Hendricks Gin – Limited Release bottle, added to the tonic bottle beads decorated with purpley smashed up glass.

Day 259. A little bit of fun! I hadn’t thought about making mismatched rainbow earrings like this until day 246, and now I am seeing how this idea can flow through other styles of earrings. Loving the shape of these earrings too.

Day 258. Today was all about creating some new Gin and Tonic earrings. Swipe through to see the different variations. Made from Bombay Sapphire, Tanqueray and two different Hendricks gin bottles, the tonic bottle is Fever Tree.

Day 257. Gosh, it has been so nice to hang out in my studio today, especially after spending the day at hospital yesterday! I got extra creative today and made a necklace and bracelet to go with these super cute earrings.

Day 256. Well it looks like I will go to extreme measures to avoid my daily challenge! I am sorry that I didn’t get a chance to make anything yesterday. I ended up spending the entire day at the RAH with a friend who was unwell. Luckily he was well looked after, and he is having surgery today. I have today’s challenge earrings made, ready for the next post! But if I had the chance to make something yesterday, it might have looked something like this! These earrings are from the other day, but I took them apart and added some texture to the copper. Hammering them felt good today!

 

Day 255. Take an old idea and change one thing. I changed yesterday’s square hoops and made them rectangle hoops! The beads are made from wine and gin bottles. Hmm, what will I change tomorrow?
