It is off the beaten path that we find the most interesting people, places and experiences. When we are not concerned with what everyone else is doing or wearing or eating, we are likely to discover something that would otherwise have escaped us. With a long holiday weekend coming up, maybe we should think about where everybody isn't going as our destination?
In these earthy Bohemian earrings, I use Czech glass, brass, copper and gorgeous primitive ceramic components from Petra Carpreau of Scorched Earth on Etsy. I don't know whether Petra likes tea and crumpets; I just love her work.

Love Petra's work! These have the sort of refined grunginess that I love. Great outfit to pair them with! Crushing on those shoes! Enjoy the day. Erin
ReplyDeleteRefined grunginess is a perfect description.
DeleteI would wear these everyday!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Melissa!
DeleteI love these!! I just purchased several pieces from Petra's shop and they arrived yesterday. I can't wait to make something with them.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Alice! It seems Petra has an ever growing fan club across the pond:)
DeleteWhat a fabulous design! I love the deep red and lime green. I love how you used Petra's spikes. I just bought a pile of her stuff too, I can't wait to get it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Keirsten! Can't wait to see what you do with Petra's spikes!!!
DeleteLove what you did with that toothy pair, Gloria!!! Gorgeous combinations with the other beads. I'm more of a gin girl, but I do like a nice crumpet!!
ReplyDeletexoxo :O)
Thanks, Petra! I would trade the gin for a cup of dark roast coffee, but I do like a crumpet now and then.
DeleteAll your pieces are just so unique...how do you manage to create such beauties...I have become an ardent follower of your blog...:)...Wish I could own all of these...;)....
ReplyDeleteThank you, Diana! I am always looking for unusual components, and if I can't find what I want then I try to make it myself. It helps if you have a mind that is slightly twisted and an aversion to doing the same thing twice.
