Slumbering Planet

Just before I began designing my earrings for today's post, I'd been reading about the lunar eclipse that occurred last night.

Slumbering Planet Earrings

I made the earrings and when it came time to name them, I must have still had the eclipse, space and planets on my mind.  The round lampwork beads started to look like satellite photos I'd seen of the earth at night, so I named them the Slumbering Planet Earrings.

The matte lampwork beads by Felicia Annie are really amazing.  The more you look at them, the more layers of swirling color you see, just like the many subtle shades one sees in night views of the earth.

The base color of the beads seems to be a blueish green.  There are also subtle swirls of purple, dark turquoise and a few bolder swipes of black.  They are really beautiful and they seemed to demand sterling silver, rather than my usual patinated brass.  I placed Swarovski crystals above the lampwork rounds and suspended some wavy lampwork from Unicorne Beads at the end of a bits of sterling chain.

I won't be placing these in my shop just yet.  I have a couple of shows coming up and I'm working on adding inventory.  They may show up in my shop later, though.

Did you get to see the lunar eclipse?  I'm writing this on Tuesday night and we're hoping the clouds will clear up so we can see it later this evening.

Versatile Wire!

The only way to put it is to say, I am in Love with wire!! The more I use it, the more I Want to use it! It is versatile and fun! So here is to wire!!

You have to look at the different ways it looks when you move it around in the light. Shimmering and shinning. Dull and Dark{in a good way}. It is simply wonderful! This is solid copper wire that I patinaed in LOS for a nice Vintage feel!

You can find these in my ETSY shop! I hope to make more soon in different colours, with the wire curved differently. The possibilities are endless!!

 Wear them with a chic little Jacket!

Sapphire Blues

Most colours have always held some inspiration to me in one way or another. The ones I tend to use the most are in the green tones, but Blue is as always fabulously versatile! The magnificent multitude of shades in this particular colour is astounding! You can find them everywhere! Nature is always my biggest inspiration, so look up at your sky and think of all the shades you see! If it's early morning, you may have some pale shades with some brighter blue tones here and there, if it's evening it may have a greyer hue. Look at water reflecting the sky and it turns those same blues into deeper shades!

Need an idea of what to wear with these? Found this amazingly sexy and elegant dress on Pintrest! I prefer something a little longer myself, but why not! lol I of course would put her hair up so you can see the earrings! :)

 I hope you feel inspired to wear something new!

You can find these and other handmade earrings in my Etsy shop!
