The Last Leaf

Snow is now covering the ground outside. But that doesn't mean that there aren't a few leaves still clinging to the trees.

These pretty leaves from Humblebeads are my favorite new beads of 2012. I simply cannot get enough of them! I think I have them in every color and size that she makes. I created The Last Leaf earrings from these golden tipped leaves, peanut beads, Czech glass in a deep red berry and an old gold on fancy copper headpins dangling from rose gold ear wires.

I would wear them with this fringed cowlneck sweater

and these brass heeled knee boots

Copper Frost

I wanted to make a pair of flirty and kind of glam earrings for the holiday season and this is what I came up with. I've had these pretty copper acrylic hoops for YEARS and finally dug them out to put them to good use. I paired them with some matte silver chain and Swarovski crystals.

I think they'd be fab with this ensemble....

I found these beads on Pinterest and they are my inspiration, they reminded me of the sky so I thought they needed to be combined with the Owls.

Sand and Surf

When I remembered today was my day to post here at EE, I thought I was going to create some festive holiday-themed earrings using these new embossed morsels I made (more on my blog later), embellishing them with the traditional red, green and gold. 

After sorting through my artisan glass box, however,  I spied these beauties by KreationsbyKaren that were sitting there, waiting to be loved, and all of a sudden, those baroque-looking swirls embossed in my components were huge waves, curling and crashing onto a sandy beach, spewing seafoam and leaving lots of little colorful shells and ocean "stuff" in their wake.

I used silver and copper with these and left the copper bright and shiny! Sorry for my ugly claw in the photo..sometimes holding them is the only way to get them to hang straight!

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!

Rustic Bling

Sometimes you just need a little bling, especially around the holidays for all the family gatherings and parties. Instead of going into the vault for my diamonds and rubies (tongue in cheek), I prefer my rustic bling. Take some rich solid colors from your closet and add some bold colorful earrings in copper, brass or silver.

These copper earrings are made with handmade copper components from Kristi Bowman. I have added green and dark red Czech glass, and faceted garnet stone beads.
