I made a necklace and earring set for a very, very patient client name Jen who lives in the Tomorrow River area a short drive from me. When we met earlier this year, she described what she wanted by showing me a Pinterest board that she created (how clever is that?!). She started with pictures of my work, but that led her to other artists that she admired who were linked on my pages, specifically StaciLouise Smith.
For the earrings, I went with two polymer clay disk beads by Heather Powers that had similar colors but different patterns, and the same size. Then I found some different shaped but same sized links and wrapped them in Wooly Wire from Karen Totten. The client asked the earrings to be asymmetrical. I never have a problem with making asymmetry in necklaces but earrings were tough!This is really my first attempt at making earrings that don't match.
What do you think?

Oh, I think they are fab! I have the same issue...LOVE making asymmetrical necklaces, easy peasy, but when it comes to earrings I have a much harder time with it. You did a great job and I love the matching necklace (just spotted it on FB).
ReplyDeleteI think they are great! What a marvelous client you got to work with--she is a treasure, just like what you made! I find asymetrical designs extremely fun and appealing to look at and these are lovely.
ReplyDeleteI love them! I love the neutral tones, and the mix of natural and industrial. I think you have already conquered the asymmetrical earring pair!
ReplyDeleteAsymmetrical earrings are a whole new challenge, but love what you did! Already gushed over the necklace, Jen must be thrilled!
ReplyDeleteErin, there seems to live in your very existence a perfect sense of Balance...whether Life, or Love or Art and it is apparent to those of us who have not yet found it. Whilst we, or at least just Me, tiptoe across the stream, rock to rock, not quite stumbling, but never managing with that certain grace to follow the leaders who skip across without pause in surest confidence and balance. There is this undeniable Admiration for the Wonder of the balanced asymmetrical necklace, the harmony in paired earrings and the delicate precision of artistic achievement that expresses something so simple and pure that there is naught to do but Rejoice in the Beauty of Design!
ReplyDeleteWow Erin, these are amazing earrings. You took asymmetrical to a whole new level. I love them!!
ReplyDeleteyou have the same basic components, but put together differently.....love it. I would never have thought of it that way. Very nicely done.
ReplyDeleteLove these earrings, especially the asymmetry!
ReplyDeleteThe earrings are stunning!
