EARRINGS TO MATCH SHIMMER.

A continuation of my prior Shimmer and Sheen post.  This shows  the bracelet already posted, but includes the new earrings to match.  I wanted to try something new with wire, and here's what I came up with.  The blue sea glass squares matched the blue super duos I used in the bracelet perfectly, so I went from there.  The squares only have a hole in the top, and I wanted a dangle at the bottom, so I started experimenting with my wire.  And, while you've heard me say it before... I think these turned out adorable!  :)  Basically, I ran my wire through the hole a couple of times, made the top bail and wire wrapped around it, added a flower spacer to the front of the glass, with an acrylic flower and small 2mm pearl and then ran the copper wire down with a wire wrapped loop for the dangle (added a 4 mm pearl) and up the back and back around the top.  Love these.  Bracelet and earrings SOLD!

SPRING LOADED SET COMPLETED!

Since my last post, I'm happy to say, I finished my design for a coordinating necklace and earrings to go with my lovely new "blues" spring loaded triangle bracelet.  Aren't these colors FABULOUS together?  Who knew?  Well, I kind of did, but I'm not sure I've ever put them together in a full ensemble.  The necklace incorporates tooth/dagger beads in sea glass, along with the blue Czech flowers, pearls and little bell lucite flowers.  Also some copper rounds thrown in.  Unbelievably, this necklace is very light, which is unusual for sea glass.  I made a couple of different earrings to go with too, just to have options.  And, I've also included a few better shots of that beautiful bracelet. 

I added glass donuts to this version, and then wired in the darker blue pearls.  You can't really get the true appeal of the pearls in these pics.  They are really gorgeous.  I had to go back and buy a few more strands at Bead Street (of course!) to have on stock for other projects.... whatever those may be.  If only I could find all those beads I've purchased for those other projects.... they are buried deep. :)

This version I used two different sizes of Czech bell flowers and also small lucite flowers underneath for some added color.
