I think I was hoarding them because really I wanted them for me, if I'm totally honest. Anyway, in my pre-market flap, I decided they needed to be pressed into service. I'd just received a super little grab bag of assorted bronze lovelies from Lesley Watt, so I decide to team a pair of her charms with the lampwork. I finished by adding some toning czech glass.
It is a pretty simple design, but I often find that those are the things that sell at craft fairs, especially when it comes to earrings. Simple or not, I really like them, and - would you believe it? - that shopper in desperate need of lampwork earrings never showed up.
So, these are now available here in my Etsy shop. Mind you, I am quite tempted to keep them for me. Maybe it was meant to be? If they don't go this quarter......
Before I go, a quick reminder: tomorrow is the day of the monthly We're All Ears blog hop. You can read all about the challenge and how to take part here. There's still time to get some earrings made!
Anyway, all best wishes for the holiday season, and see you in 2015!
Claire
The earrings are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI love Magdalena's beads, I've used them many times. I love what you did with them too, really beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteThe way you put together the beads is really beautiful and thanks for the reminder about the blog hop. I was about to forget posting my earrings for the second time
ReplyDeleteGorgeous color combination! So luscious! Perfect with Lesley's charms. And as always, your earrings are so gracefully proportioned. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteYea, I would totally keep these! Love the colors, and the bronze pieces just add a richness to it. I feel that if something doesn't sell it is meant to be for me, that is why I always make things I would want to wear, and I recently got to keep one of my favorite earrings that I made some time ago for this blog that never sold. Huzzah! Enjoy the day! Erin
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!! I would keep them as a Christmas gift from me to me :D Beautiful design, simple is good!
ReplyDeleteI always do that too, stress myself out making new last minute things to put on the table at the craft fair and those things don't sell. Ugh.
Beautiful colors! The charms really catch your eye too! Just lovely! Happy new year to you Claire!
ReplyDeleteFantastic color harmonies! I was sad to visit your website and found that these are already sold. Sounds like you are sad, too.
ReplyDeleteLove the earrings! Beautiful color combination!
