Moorland

It seems an age since I posted here last. I haven't made that many earrings recently but I did rustle up a few pairs at the weekend for a market last Sunday. I wanted some simple designs, just using lovely components in a simple way.

You've got to love a freebie and Petra of Scorched Earth is always so generous with the extras she sends.  These spikes were included in my last order and I just love them.  I'm so glad I got them because I probably wouldn't have instantly picked them out in her shop, but the colours are so luscious in the flesh. They remind me of banks of heather on moorland. 

They're a great match for the pyrite and frosted mookaite and the little jump ring embellishment / what-do-you-call-it (what do you call it?).  They're available here in my Etsy shop.

Bye for now, Claire

Magical Mauve

Magical Mookaite!

When I saw these amazing and unusual Mookaite Dew Drops I snatched them up as fast as I could.

I just recently started making these rings and I think they make a perfect combination.

I can see them with this pretty frilly top below,

how about a nice old fashioned head of cascading ringlets with these earrings peaking out from behind

I know that's a little girl but the color and style was so perfect for what I wanted!

Then there is this Fab Mauve Purse.
