Cool Water Blossoms


I recently made a pile of these little flower beadcaps, and combined them with some of my favorite beads. I love these "lumi" finish Czech glass beads in pale blue--they're like drops of cool water! I combined them with some rice pearls in a matching silvery blue. The design makes me think of a fuchsia blossom, one of my favorite flowers.

I imagine these with a clingy 1930s era gown in ice blue satin, or with a hippie-chic tunic and leggings. Dress them up or down!

All the copper in these earrings (including the earwires) has been sealed in a high-grade lacquer to preserve patina and shine, and inhibit sensitivity.

  5. I love your bead caps with those little vines on them. I want some. Whip some up and sell them to me, okay? And that icy blue is a perfect complement. Reminds me of when a flash freeze happens after a rain and the blossoms are encased in ice. So pretty!
    Enjoy the day!
