Lately I've been trying to juggle fixations on both mixed metals and colored glass beads. Right now the mixed metals are winning! Today I'm going to share two very similar pairs of earrings I made on Saturday, using fabulous brass beads I've had forEVER--so long in fact, the seller doesn't even carry them anymore (I should have bought MORE--this is why you always buy lots of them)--with some of my hand-crafted copper petal beadcaps and a dash of sterling silver. (I'm also obsessed with these metal torpedo beads--these are from
Monsterslayer.) These make me think of the fabulicious costume stylings in the wonderfully weird 1994 "
Stargate" film--maybe they would be worthy of
Jaye Davidson...
I used a different pair of brass beads, and larger, slightly different petaled beadcaps for the pair below, and hammered the wire on some of my wraps. I think I'm going to start doing that more often, that cut end of wire on a wrap is starting to bug me...
Plus it will give me more opportunities to hammer things, which I like.
These are available in
my Etsy shop.
Both pair are amazing, you always come up with the coolest designs. Very happy to have you back!
