Spring flower

I don’t know about you, but I not only have a large stash of beads but a large stash of bits and bobs as well. Let’s just say I have difficulty parting with stuff. You never know when you might need something.
So, what to do with ball chain leftovers? Making earrings of course.

There are endless possibilities. Give the ball chain a lovely patina, use a great variety of beads etc. 

 I was a bit stressed for time so I kept these earrings sweet and simple with beautiful handmade polymer clay tulip beads by Too Aquarius. I am ready for spring. 

Thanks for looking.

For these earrings, I started with a pair of my copper tulip caps, and gave them an aged blue-green patina. They made me think of blooms from a deep-sea garden! I chose gemstones in the same hues--I just love the way this aqua chalcedony glows, and the sea green aventurine nuggets match the patina on my tulip caps so perfectly. I dotted the earwires with Czech glass in a matching aquamarine blue.

I would pair them with a gown worthy of Amphitrite (especially if she was guest-starring on Downton Abbey--this dress is so Lady Sybil):
