Swinging Lightly

I'm finding that the smallest of polymer pieces that I've made are so versatile.
The double holes afford more options in designing
I often get remarks from women that find they can't wear heavy earrings anymore but enjoy the length and variety of the boho style.
Using lots of jump rings both steel and copper you can achieve length and lightness.
I found these little glass baubles with a sort of titanium light iridescent finish recently to lightly swing.

The polymer pieces are so easy to make. I used the Blue Bottle Tree Rustic Beads tutorial for the varied affect.
You can see that the bauble beads have a hole from side to side across the top.
 I was so happy that the hole was big enough to accept a jump ring.

Arabesque




I used to design with Thai Hilltribe silver quite a bit 10 or 15 years ago.
I was bringing kilos of it back from my travels to Chiang Mai Thailand 
I sold loads of the loose beads and earrings until the price of silver went sky high.
There was a noticeable shift in both my work and of the designers I had been associating with.
In came the copper and the mixed metals which I welcomed heartily.

Recently I have kind of been missing designing with my Thai silver so I dug out a couple of these intricately woven wafers and paired them with some dangles I made with The Blue Bottle Tree's wonderful Rustic Polymer clay tutorial. If you've never worked with polymer clay I totally recommend her tutorial. These charms were from my first experience ever using polymer clay.
They are light, long and swingy and certainly unique. 

Enjoy your week!
