Inspired by the colours brown and purple

Hendricks Gin and Tonic Earrings

Day 126. Inspired by the colours I am wearing today (brown cord jeans and a purple jumper) and somehow becoming my favourite gin and tonic jewellery combinations! The bottom bead is made from a Fever-Tree tonic bottle, middle bead is from a Hendricks Original Gin and the small top bead is from a Hendricks Limited Release Gin bottle. Yum!

The challenge of making a pair of earrings every day

The challenge of making a pair of earrings every day

Day 123. This morning I didn’t have a lot of time to make a pair of earrings. I had to get ready to go out for the day, and I had slept in, and I was behind schedule a bit, so I went to my studio and started looking at beads and I have to admit, I was starting to get a bit stressed because I had challenged myself to make a pair of earrings every day, and I needed to do that! I was scratching through all of my bowls of beads, kind of worrying about what I would make. Then I shook my head and thought “you have to make a pair of earrings, but they don’t have to be the most amazing pair of earrings ever made in the history of earrings!” So I took a deep breath and had another look at my recent batch of beads and thought I would put a slightly different shape together with them, and you know what? I quite like what I have done, today it works.

Day 117. I made a big batch of beads yesterday and I will be making earrings with them over the next few days, along with a couple of little surprises on the way! I love the colours in these earrings, and the simplicity of them makes them easy to wear with all sorts of clothes.
