And then there were two...

Well, I think it was on my last post that I mentioned that I had recently adopted a puppy...well, he really needed a brother so....now there are two. We adopted Rocky on April 4th and he and Rudy are only a week apart (both will be 4 months soon). They are getting along fabulously!

So why am I writing about puppies when this is clearly an earring blog you ask? Well, these two are the reason why I haven't made any earrings (or anything else for that matter!) for quite some time. So, I am going to do a "Flashback Friday" and share a pic of my "Sun Ray Drops" which (sadly) are still available in my shop.

I cut these teardrop shapes out of copper sheet and etched them by drawing with a sharpie. I love the teardrop headpins by Bubby & McGurk Beads. Hmm, since they haven't sold maybe it's a sign that I should keep them for myself? ;)

Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous weekend!

Tangerine

I was inspired by this photo on Pinterest and when I found these tangerine Czech beads in my bead stash (I recently blogged about organizing my entire bead stash, check it out here), I knew they would be perfect to pair with these gorgeous Czech flower beads. I made the teardrops out of PMC3 and used waxed linen cord to tie it all together.

I thought Tangerine was a perfect name for these because the little Czech beads look like tangerines and Tangerine by Led Zeppelin (one of my favs!) came on my iPod during the creative process. Ha! Meant to be.

Thanks for stopping by and have a fab weekend!

Sun Ray Drops

I just recently began etching metal and I've really enjoyed it, and, except for the ferric chloride stain on my kitchen island, it's been a lot of fun. After etching these teardrops, I knew I wanted to use some Bubby & McGurk lampwork headpins that I have been hoarding.

                                                                                  Sun Ray Drops are on my website.

Thanks for looking and have a great weekend!
