I made
these earrings around folded cones I made from raw copper sheet (Click
HERE for a short tutorial on how to make these cones)--I hung seven lengths of fine chain from each one, and petite clear glass beads in an iridescent finish from the end of each chain. The beads remind me of tiny light bulbs. I would love to have an
old nautical pendant lamp in a crusty finish, with cascades of crystals hanging down!
Why hasn't anybody done this? Anybody want to do this? Anybody? I have the perfect corner for it. Let me know.
In the meantime I will have to just content myself with
these miniature versions.
(Someday when my eyes are no longer up to making tiny things, I will make lamps!)

Those are super cute! I was just thinking- I don't know how she does those little folded caps! Thanks so much for sharing. I will check it out! Love the clear beads too- very crystal-like.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love these Keirsten! They are so fun and playful :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I love the delicate little wrapped bead above the cones. Great detail.
ReplyDeleteThat *would* be a fabulous light fitting! I love a chandelier. I do like those bead caps - really nice all round!
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love these earrings! And what a great tutorial too! You are a genius!!
ReplyDeleteWow those are amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great inspiration, Miss Kiersten! I love the way your special copper caps hug the chains! Enjoy the day. Erin
ReplyDeleteYou can do it Keirsten!! I've seen them inside birdcages so why not on a nautical lamp? It's easy to find the crystals... maybe not the antique nautical lamp?
ReplyDeleteLove the earrings!
