Pleasantly Pink
When I bought these pretty, floral copper dangles, I knew I wanted to pair them with something pink, because I think that is such a natural color combination. However, I have a love/hate relationship with pink. I'm not fond of baby girl pink and hot pink is not much better. I do like mauve and I like bright pink with green (think peonies with their green leaves).
Digging around in my drawer of pink beads, I found these pink leopard skin jasper beads. Perfect! I framed them with antiqued copper bead caps, some strawberry quartz and some copper colored glass spacers. I was pleasantly pleased with the outcome.

It's all about hoops!
Now, I love hoops. They pop up in nearly everything I make. Can't help it. Even if I try not to include them, they end up sneaking into a design in some form or other. I particularly love these ceramic hoops by Petra Carpreau - I have quite a stash of them, with all different colours and glazes. All the colour is on the outside edge of these hoops, so I try to make sure that this is the focus of the design.
This first pair have a beautiful rose pink pair of hoops, which I teamed with pretty ceramic triple flower charms (also by Petra Carpreau). I kept it simple with some large brass jump rings to connect the flower charms and the earwires, but needed a little something extra. A few tiny brass jump rings accentuated the gold/brass in the glaze of the hoops and flower charms.
This next pair had a gorgeous pair of blue hoops as their starting point. I had some very pretty lilac etched lampwork beads by UK artist Joanne Joyce, which are rather like sea glass. I added some lilac glass rondelles, and some indigo seed beads for contrast. Love these colours together
Really hope you like them! They'll be available in a showcase on The Jewellery Show over on Facebook on 25th September, although the blue pair are listed in my etsy shop Utterly Lovely Stuff at the moment
See you in a couple of weeks :-)
