We're having a bit of a strange Summer so far...
It's our first time spending any length of time in Northern Alberta,
so we're not sure if this is the norm,
but someone told us that they see snow once a month here.
So far, June has been snow-less (but it came close a few times). Pretty much every evening,
we end the day with a storm. I see so many clouds, and they really fascinate me.
So in keeping with our stormy skies of late, I've designed this pair of earrings, which
features various shades of grey, and lines representing clouds and lightning:
This design features a pair of gorgeous Artisan Lampwork Beads (I've lost the seller's info, I bought these a long time ago), a couple of chunky nuggets of Labradorite, and natural grey freshwater pearls.
Coupled with Sterling Silver, and these earrings have all the shapes of a cool storm, if you ask me :)
You can find these earrings HERE on my website!
Happy stormy days...
With love and inspiration,

I love them - I can image them being worn with a satin blouse in dove gray or a silk dress. beautiful!
