Hello! I’m Sue Robinson from Utterly Lovely
Stuff and I’m utterly (sorry!) delighted to have been invited to do a little
guest spot on Earrings Everyday! What a thrill! Especially as some of my very
favourite jewellery artists contribute here.
So…I was told to create a pair of earrings
especially for the blog, and tell you a little about them. This was no
hardship, let me tell you as making earrings is one of my favourite things to
do.
This pair features components from one of my absolute favourite artists (whose
beautiful pieces feature regularly here on EE) Petra Carpreau of Scorched Earth.
I love her rustic, natural style, and think the coppery glaze on these ceramic
drops is just beautiful.
I popped these drops on some copper hoops, loosely wrapped
with some pretty, coppery seed beads to pick up the orange hue in the glaze and
added another favourite component - recycled glass chunks. I have a friend who
goes to South Africa and picks up these recycled glass chunky beads for me from
a local bead shop, so I have a plentiful supply of them! A good job as I seem
to use them in lots of designs at the moment. I finished these off with some
pretty enamelled headpins, made by a clever jewellery friend, Charlotte Rosser
of Wild Strawberry Designs. (Link not available.)
Hope you like them! There’ll be over in my Etsy shop Utterly Lovely Stuff.
Thanks for having me!

DeleteHi Sue, soooooo wonderful to see you here, my friend and one of my favorite jewelry artists. You know I love your earrings (I have several pairs already) and these are no exception. The colors in these are beautiful. And aren't you a lucky girl to have a friend who brings you these wonderful recycled glass.
ReplyDeleteHello Janine!I'm delighted to be here! Thank you! And yes, I'm very lucky to have a friend who brings me such wonderful beady delights!
DeleteSue, the earrings are beautiful! Of course it's the entire package, but I have to say that the shade of blue in the handmade glass beads is an extraordinary complement to Petra's drops. It creates an immediate sense of peace when I see it. And the tiny enamel headpins are the perfect accent. Great earrings! Thank you so much for joining us today. :)
ReplyDeleteNorbel I really enjoyed it! Thanks for asking me
DeleteHurrah - you made it here! Lovely earrings Sue - welcome!
ReplyDeleteLindsay - thanks so much!
DeleteWelcome Miss Sue! So nice to have you here! I love Petra's components as they are so organic and earthy. I always drool over anything made with them. I love the way you added the detail of the woven wire. Hope to see more from you in the future! Enjoy the day! Erin
ReplyDeleteHello Erin! Thanks so much. I'm a huge fan of all things Petra! So pleased you like these earrings!
DeleteSue, Sue, lovely Sue - Lovely to see you here - and, of course, with such fabulous earrings!
ReplyDeleteHello Queen Claire! Thank you most kindly!
DeleteHi, Sue! It's great to see you here on EE! I love these earrings. Excuse the hyperbole, but everything works together: the rough facets of the recycled glass beads complement the roundness of the copper hoops, which in turn contrast to the straight lines of Petra's gorgeous rectangles...with the little seed beads punctuating it all. I won't even start on the colors, which are awesome together. <3 I hope you'll come back again soon, as I'd love to see more! xoxo
ReplyDeleteHello Meridy! If I'm invited back, I'll be asking you to write the blog as you're quite the wordsmith! Thanks so much <3
