Day 138. Just before the light disappeared here! I have had all day to make a pair of earrings, but between this, that and the other, it has taken all day! I was starting to get a tiny bit worried that I wouldn’t get them done! I started a couple of times, walked away, came back and then it was crunch time. Phew, here’s to daily challenges.
Day 137. Thanks for all the lovely comments for yesterday’s earrings. I found another bird and flower combo that I liked for today!
Day 136. These colours were calling out to be used today. I particularly love the mismatched earrings! The necklace is quite dramatic with the contrasting colours, but I like how it has come together. Old beads, new ideas. Happy days and sunshine.
Day 135. I used to make a lot of beads from filigrano Italian glass. It gave a really great effect with the clear and coloured glass. Not sure why I stopped, I guess I started doing something else with glass. It’s funny how looking back at my old beads makes me think of new ideas. I like how these earrings have come together with these beads made from wine bottles and decorated with gold pixie dust.
Day 134. Classic red, white and blue.
Day 133. Pink and purple with a pop of orange. The bracelet inspired the earrings today!
Day 132. Checking to see how my other favourite shape for earrings works with the freshwater pearls…definitely works. Love the colour of these recycled glass beads made from a Skyy Vodka bottle.
Day 131. I played with yesterday’s design a little bit to create a slight longer, more dangly earring with a square hook. Today’s green bead was made from a @bethanywines_barossa Chardonnay bottle.
Day 130. Combining two of my favourite things today…freshwater pearls and Hendricks Gin Limited Release recycled glass beads. Every time I think that I will use this particular shape of bead to make earrings I think to myself “you should make more like this.” It is such an elegant shape for earrings.
Day 129. Darker pearls paired back with sparkling silver recycled wine bottle beads.
