I know, what does applesauce have to do with this? Do you remember that saying from when you were a kid?? ... No, you say, I'm just ancient!... lol. Well, maybe I should update it to "criss-cross awesomesauce"...that'd work, too, lol!
The pairs of earrings below have a couple things in common, a wonderful cross-over wire pattern and cool bar-beads which lend to that tribal look I love so much.
The amazing hand painted focal beads are by Nooma Cav of Inviciti. They are made of wood so they are super lightweight even though they are on the larger side. I used painted round wood beads in green to draw that magnificent color back to the top. The ceramic red bars are by Michelle McCarthy of FireflyStudio and she makes them in an array of colors.
Stunning enamel pieces by Cathleen Zaring of Blue Hare; Polymer accent beads by Heather Powers of Humblebeads. I adore the detail in Heather's beads, it brings so much to a design of a smaller scale like earrings.
It's freezing and kind of grey here in the mid-west, it was so nice to play with some bold colors!
Thank you for stopping by!!
