Chieftess

Rustic Copper Shield Earrings

Sometimes we need a little boost to feel great about ourselves. You know that outfit in your closet that effortlessly works and always makes you feel like you're at the top of your game? I think we all have one of those. So you don't have to actually be the "Chieftess" or the "Alpha", just feel like one every now and then. That is what these earrings say to me, "Look out, here I come!". Maybe I should call these my attitude lifting earrings?

To the wonderfully rustic copper shield components from Kristi Bowman, I added hammered copper wire arches and wire wrapped loops, and niobium ear wires. Sherbet orange Czech glass drops and tiny turquoise rounds add color and positive energy to the design.

Bringing back some favorites

To tell you the truth , I did not have anything prepared for today . The earrings I was making for this blog post are still sitting half made on my studio work table.

This has been a week and a half . And I have a lot of things to be grateful for.
My cousin and her kids lost everything in a house fire . The house was totally destroyed.
Thank God they all made it out alive . I held a sale in my Etsy shop to help her out .I can't imagine loosing everything . My family and I can not thank you enough for your prayers and support.
Blessings to all of you.

So for todays post I am bringing back some of my favorite designs to share with you.
                                               



I am sure that those of you that read this blog on a regular basis know who made these gorgeous copper roman shield components. Even before I was invited to join the bead chat group. I fell in love with Melinda Orr's beautiful work. The detail in her work is amazing.
I paired her copper shields with Campo Frio Turquoise mined in Mexico , wood jasper  and simple copper spacers.
A simple and casual  design  that goes so well with this trendy bohemian  outfit.
