Day 16. A special request for a pair of green earrings, similar to the blue earrings from day 11. I love hearing what you like about the earrings that I am making, and I am happy to try some of your ideas too! Just let me know what you would like to see, and I will see if I can make it happen. No obligations to purchase, it just adds some fun to my challenge every now and then.
Day 15. Been playing around with the Limited Release Hendricks Gin bottle again, and loving the combo of sparkly silver and purple. I have also listed four different pairs of Hendricks Limited Release earrings in my Etsy shop.
Day 14. I love the look of acid-etched opaque glass. It gives the beads a completely different look, and I often get asked if it is glass. It definitely is, but this process totally transforms it. It looks different and it also feels different too, with a more smoother, silky texture.
Day 13. Spots and stripes. Some days I have a solid idea for a pair of earrings, some days I have made the beads the day before and I know what I am going to make. But today I sat down, started looking at the beads I have, picked a few out, put a few together, tried a few other options, and then these beads appeared and looked so good together that I decided they would be today’s earrings!
Day 12. When you can’t decide on your favourite gin, put them all together in a pair of earrings like these featuring beads made from Bombay Sapphire, Tanqueray and Hendricks Limited Release gin bottles!
Day 11. Some cooler weather, inspired a cooler colour palette for these earrings AND a necklace. I love both of these earrings, they both work well with the necklace, and both would look great without the necklace. I didn’t intend to make two pairs of earrings for this necklace, but I am glad I had some leftover small beads so that I could give it a go.
Day 10. Another evacuation on Kangaroo Island yesterday, left me feeling a bit frazzled, so I can’t even imagine how my little brother is feeling, he had to actually do two evacuations yesterday! I spent most of the day just tidying my studio and this idea for a set of earrings kept running through my mind! Yes, 3 earrings! You can wear the mismatch pair on days when you are feeling a bit more whimsical, and play it straight on other days with the matching earring.
Day 9. I keep getting drawn back to these warm colours. I tried a few different options, but I love the matt ivory coloured bead in between the orange beads. Orange also looked great, but the ivory really popped for me!
Day 8. When you just feel like wearing all the colours! These earrings will definitely help. I had a lot of fun making this pair of earrings. The same-same but different look has a lot of appeal for me at the moment.
Day 7. Long, dangly, swingy flower earrings. Love the colours in the beads, three shades of green, they really catch the light too.
