craving for color

Hello friends, how are you all doing?
I don't know about you, but after winter I always crave for color. I recently bought 2 pairs of very, and I mean very, colorful shoes. My colleagues look at my shoes, look at me, look back at my shoes with a bewildered look on their faces. But then they see my tote bag (yep, very colorful), my chaotic hairstyle with curls everywhere, and sigh. Colorful shoes belong to me. As are colorful earrings. And nobody does colorful earring components better than Helena Benkoczka, with whom I had an interview in March. She is such an interesting lady and talented artist.
Her earring components always make me happy. I made these 3 pairs of earrings:


I combined the polymer charms with lampwork glass beads made by Lesley McIver, Czech glass and other bits and pieces.


And you can win this last pair :) Isn't that great. If you go to the interview you can see what you need to do to win this pair or win a pair of earrings made by Helena.


Thank you so much for looking and your support for Earrings Everyday :)
And you know I love to read your comments, so don't be shy and leave some words. 

See you in two weeks.
Wishing you all a wonderful day, full of joy, an abundance of color and singing birds,

  4. These earrings are truly spectacular! I don’t know if you are interested in linkup parties, but I host one called Creative Compulsions every Thursday. It is geared specifically towards those of who create things.

    I had to giggle about your brightly colored shoes. I have some of those!
