Welcome to March Earrings Week, where I showcase some of the stuff I've been making lately. A couple of weeks ago my cousin Janelle came over and we both resolved to actually finish some things – my goal was to make five pairs of earrings. Since then, I've been building up stock and creating different earrings for the mythical launch of my Etsy shop. (Someday, someday…)
Each day this week (partially to get back into writing regular entries), I will post a pair of earrings that I have made recently.
First up, the prototype pair for the Supernova collection:
These elegant earrings are made of large kidney loops and sparkly acrylic beads. They are very light weight and catch the light very well! I have been pretty impressed with the quality of acrylic/lucite/plastic beads these days (technology has marched on from 1991, I guess) and have been amassing a nice collection of these types of beads. They have some very nice mixes at JoAnns and I eventually plan on making some nice lightweight necklaces, probably for me but potentially for the shop.
Next time: turquoise, of course!
