Snakeskin Swivel




This is not the first pair of "Swivel" earrings I've made and in fact these took a long time to come together. I've had the copper pieces on my work table for some time and nothing I put together worked for me. 


But I sat down today and spied some of my all time favorite Lampwork Beads by Karin Hruza of Beadfairy and Fireworks went off in my brain. I put them with more Lampwork Beads on top by Paradise Beads that match Karin's beads perfectly and a couple of complimenting Czech Glass Beads and these worked!

These babies are mechanical, they swivel all over the place, so much so that I had to make a little video to show you exactly how they move.
My little girl Shasta is telling you all about it in the background!



These Earrings have been sold.

  2. So cool! The beads and your components are absolutely gorgeous! You've found some perfectly paired beads. I love it when they go together like that- don't you? Like they were made for each other! And Shasta is so sweet in the background! LOL! My Molly is still "ruff"ing -- she heard the little bark and thought there was a dog in the house I guess. Haa! These are beautiful Kristi!

  3. Oh, Shasta sounds just like my dogs! Widget and Rusty are still talking about the visitor they thought they had! I love the creative way you used the metal pieces in these earrings. The colors are so rich, earthy and vibrant. I look forward to your posts in my emails.
