Vintage Green Bloom Earrings

In my last post I wrote about making beaded wire hoops above the earring dangles.  I'm still playing with that idea, as you can see in today's earrings.

The green flower drops are very unusual,  I've never seen anything like them before.  I bought them from a vintage bead vendor at Bead Fest last year.  They are flat on the back and have a little tab at the top, with a side to side hole through it.  The were quite expensive, but I'm pretty much hopeless when it comes to resisting really unique beads.

I topped the earrings with pretty pink lampwork beads from Paradise Beads.

While I'm not much of a pink color fan, I've always loved deep pink and bright green because it reminds me of camellias and their green leaves.
