A sense of direction

At this particular time in my life I feel I could use a stronger sense of direction. And a stronger aim. A kind of "just go for it". I suspect my subconciousness has had an effect on my design. As if it wants to push me a little harder.

In these earrings I've used beads and components that have been waiting for many years to come to use. Things I love but haven't been able to combine well with other things. I hope I managed with these earrings.

I think they would be suitable for for instance an opening night for a furniture designer, or perhaps a fancier dinner party with close friends.

Ingredients (from bottom to top):
Bronze drop bead
Green magnesite triangles (possibly partially man made)
Lovely white magnesite squares
Matte golden colour covered lucite squares (super light weight)

Strung on doubled 26G oxidized copper wire
Handmade earring hooks in oxidized copper

All copper is free from traces of allergenic metals such as nickel for instance.

All my best,
Malin

Revamped Glam

A few weeks ago, I was browsing through a local antique store and found some really cool necklaces (see pic below) along with some other treasures like...plates...can't get enough plates on the wall, much to my husband's chagrin. I took two rhinestone pieces off of one of the necklaces and just knew that they needed to be earrings. I wanted to do something fun and kind of funky with them so I added chain, wire, a copper fleur de lis and two Magnesite stones. I just love the way they turned out and they are surprisingly lightweight!

These are available for sale on my website .

Thanks for looking and have a great weekend!

Peace Signs

I have a thing for peace signs and I love wearing them, be it a t-shirt, a scarf or a pair of earrings...they are always "in" with me. I made this pair last night using Bubby & McGurk head pins, Czech glass and Magnesite beads. The Irish waxed linen cord is from Ornamentea.

Here's a casual outfit that would look great with my earrings....
