The Unknown


“I will not let you go into the unknown alone.”
― Bram Stoker




October Greetings, My Friends!

Today I have some lovely antiqued collage earring charms by Jill Stoffregen of Foxpaws to show you.  





The charms are made of thin porcelain ceramic and are quite delicate. I used a 4 ply wax linen cord to attach them to the rest of the components so there wouldn't be any metal rubbing against them.  In this particular pair, I frayed the ends of the cord to create a tattered look which also went perfectly with the slashes you see in the sleeves.  

I created a sort of gobbet using vintage bead-caps and amber-colored faceted beads.  Well, of course, we all know vampires don't drink....wine...However, they may offer you some to be hospitable. 





I hope you enjoyed your stay at my little bead table today!  It was wonderful to see you again!

Be well,

Loralee xo

  1. These are wonderful, Loralee. I love what you've done with the frayed linen and the look of the "goblets" you built. Superb.

    1. Thank you, Ann! I think the frayed linen brings the whole design together - gives it life. Sometimes it's the smallest detail that has the largest impact.
