Here we are on day 4 of Earrings Week, featuring some components from Michael's Industrial Chic line. Today you get a two-fer!
I haven't purchased much of this line but these twisted links were interesting. I also like their bezeled rings which I have several of to fill with resin but in general this line is sadly not my style. Definitely interested to see what other people make of it, however! I am always surprised by how people use supplies differently.
First up I used these long links for some lengthy earrings. The pale aqua Czech glass at the bottom are attached with ball headpins (my favorite, what can I say?).
These earrings use some of my extremely precious and uber-hoarded pressed Czech glass leaves. I have a hard time parting with them. I'm not sure why, it's not like they're very expensive or anything. I just like to keep them! They are my precioussss, I guess.
Next time: Fancy Filigree!
I like these alot.
Did those long link things come like that or did you shape them? I got a book called 'Teach Yourself Visually Jewelry Making and Beading' at the Costco, so hopefully I will expand my meager skills.
I LOVE THESE. Are you selling them? They are both amazing.
Love these!
I LOVE the earrings on top. Simply stunning! You MUST tell me where you got those long links with a ball on each end. Thank you so much! Linda
Those were bought years and years ago at Michael’s. I don’t think they still carry them. I believe it was the Industrial Chic line by Susan Lenart Kazmer… but don’t quote me on that!
Hi Melissa! This is the first I’ve seen of the earnings( and only)! I really like the copper ball head pins . Do you know where I can order them or did you make them?
Where can I find the other weeks?
Hi Teri! Thanks for visiting my blog. Those copper components are from Michael’s Industrial Chic line, which dates back to 2012ish. You might be able to find them on eBay? Not sure at this point! If you want to see the other posts for March Earring Week, you can look at the March 2012 archive from the dropdown on the right hand side of the page. Hope that helps!
