Yesterday hubby and I went on an adventures hike (read no trail, very prickly bushes) on the coast near Vivari, a small village close to ours. Beautiful views, lovely weather, what more do you want.
While enjoying the view we saw a group of 10-15 dolphins swimming right in front of us. Sadly, too far away for good pictures. We enjoyed a wonderful, free, dolphin show where they showed off some beautiful synchronized jumps and diving. What an amazing sight. The local fishermen are not very happy with the dolphins, as they destroy their nets and steal the fish in it. But we had great fun watching them frolicking around. Now you might ask yourself, what does this story have to do with my earrings of today? Well…nothing. I just wanted to share this with you, as I so enjoyed watching them :)
So, back to the earrings. I got my hands on the much in demand polymer clay leafs made by Helen Backhouse. The colours in these are amazing: a deep blue-ish purple. To accent these colours I combined it with lovely lampwork glass beads in blue, purple and teal (Grace Ma), a tiny Swarovski crystal and of course my favourite handmade copper ear wires by Lucy Haslam.
Thank you so much for looking. Wishing you a wonderful week and I hope to see you in two weeks.

ReplyDeleteJanine, I am in awe of the beauty which surrounds you. What an incredibly inspiring place to live. Dolphins are so much fun to watch! I'm so glad you had the opportunity to enjoy such a fabulous Sunday. And the earrings? Superb! My favorite color combinations in their brightest form.
