So it's Bonfire Night here in the UK today. This is a big deal -bonfires and firework displays all over the country, the loud noises terrifying small animals....It's all to remember a time in the 17th century when Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament. Four hundred years later, and we are still celebrating. We Brits are a funny bunch!
Anyway, onto these earrings! I took the theme of fireworks, and found these beautiful enamels with bursts of colour from Emily of 2Moiselles.
I really love these colours and the sense of upward movement in them (perfect fireworks!). I wanted to accentuate that sense of upward movement, so added some brass ovals to act as a frame, then some sections of brass chain and coordinated seed beads. Little tails of colour
Hope you like them. They'll be in the shop soon, and possibly in my next showcase on The Earrings Show in Facebook Land. See you in a couple of weeks
They’re gorgeous!! Not looking forward to the fireworks, it’s a nightmare getting the kids to sleep 🤣
