Daydreaming of the Tropics

My defense mechanism for dealing with post holiday slump, frigid weather and tax headaches is to daydream about a warm beach in the tropics. That perfect place in my memory where I am relaxed and rested, where there is someone to oblige my every whim. I can take all the time I need to dress up and do my hair, or just spend the entire day in a swim suit and feel the warm sand between my toes. Who wants to share my fantasy?

These earrings are designed to capture some of that care free tropical mood. Bright lime green colored leaf drops by White Clover combine with blue sea glass nuggets, turquoise and copper in an asymmetrical arrangement.

Moon Glow

These were so much fun to make! I tend to hold onto my sterling silver wire like it's gold (it's almost as expensive as gold these days!) but I decided to go ahead and try out this design using silver. I did something similar in copper a few months ago called Harmony. It's fun hammering and even using liver of sulphur can be exciting...just wish it wasn't so stinky. I added freshwater pearls and luckily remembered to dip some smaller gauge wire and ear wires in the smelly solution while I had it mixed.

Dressed Up Dahlia

The wonderful richness of these colours always inspires me to be more natural! They almost seem to have been plucked right from nature! I love that these are both art beads, completely from different artists and seem to have been made for each other <3

Filigree Hoops

Everyone ready for Spring, raise your hand!

Even though we are barely half way through winter, I am ready.  The weather on the east coast has been crazy...below freezing one day with snow and ice, then over 60 degrees the next!  My poor spring plants won't know what to think!

Now, you would think that if I am so into the upcoming Spring-dom, I would have created light and springy earrings, wouldn't you! Well, I would wear them with something that fits the bill...similar to this!  You know, I can't post these fun outfits without including some kickin' boots, right? And this minty green will make you feel all  springy, even if there is still snow and ice knocking at your door!

minty fresh by melismatic featuring western leather boots

I embossed copper strips in my Big Shot, then punch holes wherever I felt the spirit lead.  I ruffled the edges a bit, formed them into hoops, and added sterling earwires.  The bits of green you see are  left over from a layer of patina I added, but didn't like.  I don't mind the residual, however!

These and more of my eclectic jewelry can be found in my etsy shop!

Spring Walk

 We have had our first taste of winter these last few weeks.  Today the snow is all melted and it's 50 degrees.  Oh how quickly we yearn for the next season!  I'm ready for walks in wooded paths, where daffodils are sprouting up and birds are chirping in the distance.  

These sterling silver earrings offer a fun take on traditional hoops with a rectangle design.  The tiny buttercup beads are handcrafted from polymer clay, each color a different layer of clay formed to create the pattern.  

You can find them here in my Etsy shop.

Kaleidoscope

These are some seriously fun earrings and I considered keeping them for myself. Of course I know if I started doing that I would never have any earrings to sell! I called the Kaleidoscope because of the multitude of colours in the beads. I love the way they shimmer.

 These are all done in copper and patina-ed. You will find these and many other designs in my Etsy Shop. You can use coupon code EARRINGSEVERYDAY to save on your purchase today.

Thanks for stopping in!
