Spring comes early to Sacramento, here by the beautiful blue American River. Things start to bloom in February--sometimes even earlier--and I've been getting the urge to make something colorful. And bright. And Boho. And swingy. And long.
Really long. Shoulder-sweeper long. 😊
So I pulled out some small, brightly colored beads and searched through my box of chain and came up with the perfect bead soup ingredients: turquoise rice beads, dyed jade rondelles, faceted purple agate rounds, ocean blue jasper, multicolored faceted agate rounds, bright fuchsia Czech glass rounds, tiny brass hexagons, Japanese seed beads, and Swarovski crystals.
I especially liked this soldered brass chain, with its large and small twisted links, because of its airiness and the way the shape of the large links mirrors the shape of the turquoise beads:
I've been busy lately with several custom orders, but these earrings wouldn't let me rest. They insisted that I finish them--and who was I to argue?

Cheers, my friends! Happy creating, and thanks for reading! I'll see you again in a couple of weeks. 💗
