A Kaleidoscope of Butterflies

A collective name for a group of butterflies is called a 'Kaleidoscope'.

However others have called it a 'Swarm' or 'Rabble'.

I think a Kaleidoscope suits these beautiful creatures don't you?

Be You Beautiful

My wings are painted Copper (PMC) coated with Ice Resin.

 They have the look of enamel but they are Ice Resin.

I have a show coming up June 2-3 on the

LBA Galleria Showcase

I will have lots of Butterfly Wings and more to share!

Thanks so much for spending some time here on Earrings Everyday!

Winged Things

Some of you know I am a Bird Enthusiast and I also love Butterflies, Bees and Bats and any other Winged Things. Truth be told, I am a fan of Nature in general.

I've been wanting to create painted wings for some time and I finally found the right ones that would allow me to paint them and I've also recently been playing with Ice Resin. So the 2 have come together beautifully in these Blue Wing Earrings. I hope you agree!

These earrings available to purchase HERE

I'm making them in lots of different color combinations and they will be available in my next online trunk show. I hope you can join me HERE on Jan 6th. There will be lots of wings and much much more!

And I'll be giving away this Wing Pendant!

In the last few days, Lynn and Norbel have given you retrospectives of the past year. I've so enjoyed seeing all of their beautiful earrings and we will miss Lynn who has a very exciting 2017 coming up and we will miss her but we are so happy for her! But I decided to to look ahead at what's coming in the near future for me. I've had a rough few years and I'm dealing with a rather serious health issue at the moment. I think being able to stay creative has saved my sanity many times over. Rather than look back I definitely wanted and needed to look ahead at what's coming. I'm looking forward to getting past all of these lingering issues and being the healthiest I've been in many years in the new year.

Here's wishing everyone out there a wonderful and Creative New Year!! May your days be filled with Health and Happiness in 2017 and Beyond!! We are so very excited to have 2 new lovely ladies joining us here on Earrings Everyday. Thank you all for being with us along the way!!!

Bamboo Butterflies

Have you ever come across a display idea so beautiful, so clever that it made you gasp? That is exactly what I thought when I saw the amazing Bamboo Butterfly display from Etsy seller Carissa of PeshkiShop.

The display hangs slightly apart from the wall causing a play of light and shadows from the cutouts. The sweet fluttering wings burned into the sustainable bamboo wood are such a delightful touch. Functional art!

Now I need to see what it would take to mail this to me all the way from New Zealand! ;-)
