Garden Party

Garden Party

These earrings started with just a pair of enameled tulip beadcaps from Gardanne Beads, in an inspiring mix of butter yellow, green and strawberry. I combined them with antiqued copper, pink quartz marquise briolettes (from Fine Gems), seed beads in pale peach knotted onto waxed linen, and Czech glass roundels in antique rose on the earwires. Oddly enough, the soft linen in these earrings reminds me of Lamb's Ear in a garden, surrounded by other flowers.

I picture them with a little retro springtime ensemble!

I have few more pair of earrings in my shop right now using Gardanne Beads beadcaps--you can check them out HERE.

VooDoo Daddy

Whimsical skull charms and ceramic hoops stir up a feeling of Louisiana VooDoo. African captives and their knowledge of herbs, poisons, and the ritual creation of charms and amulets, intended to protect oneself or harm others, became key elements of Louisiana Voodoo.  The deep orange glaze on these ceramic hoops is dramatic and the two different skull faces  are perfect in every way. Simple deerskin leather lace is knotted and lend to the rustic feeling of these one of a kind earrings.

I've always been intrigued by the mysteries of voodoo and the stories behind these Voodoo queens. But I do home that watching this stuff on tv is the closest I ever get to experiencing the magic of Louisiana voodoo.

These earrings are not hexed, I promise you. They are available for sale here, at Etsy!
