3D Texture Love!

What is better than texture in your jewelry! I love being able to feel different layers of materials and finishes. These wonderful Fleur De Lis charms are the perfect example! So much to feel! They are wonderfully light too because they are made of polymer clay. These are in my favorite colour, green!

 I am never one to not give you selection! These stunning charms were created by the same person and I could not resist making them into a romantic and feminine pair of earrings.

Don't miss out on these and many others in my Etsy shop!! Use your exclusive EARRINGSEVERYDAY coupon to save on your purchase!

Summer Sunset

 I love these sea urchin shell beads...so unusual and unique in coloring. They reminded me of a sunset on a gorgeous summer day.

Flower Child

I have etched brass disks and embellished them with pretty Czech glass in shades of spring!  In keeping with what seems to be my "go-to" design sensibility, I have "put a flower on it"

I would love to wear this with a long, flowy, romantic skirt and sandals if it would ever get warm enough to do so!  I saw this on Pinterest the other day, and may actually give it a go!

the Good Life

I had some punched out discs on my worktable and thought I'd put them to better use by stamping some words on them and making earrings with them. Waste Not Want Not? is that the saying? I dunno.
Anyway, I created the discs while a song called Good Life was playing on my ipod.  Hence the inspiration for the text I chose for these discs. Next, searching for something to dangle below.
I recently traded some beads with a FB friend/customer and she sent me these very uniquely shaped Jade beads. When I saw that the hole was across the top of the bead, like a brio, I imagined they looked very much like vases. And so. I added some glass flowers.

These are available for sale in my Etsy shop!

Bohemian?

Bohemian See Glass Earrings with Copper


"To take the world as one finds it, the bad with the good, making the best of the present moment—to laugh at Fortune alike whether she be generous or unkind—to spend freely when one has money, and to hope gaily when one has none—to fleet the time carelessly, living for love and art—this is the temper and spirit of the modern Bohemian in his outward and visible aspect. It is a light and graceful philosophy, but it is the Gospel of the Moment, this exoteric phase of the Bohemian religion; and if, in some noble natures, it rises to a bold simplicity and naturalness, it may also lend its butterfly precepts to some very pretty vices and lovable faults, for in Bohemia one may find almost every sin save that of Hypocrisy. ..."

"His faults are more commonly those of self-indulgence, thoughtlessness, vanity and procrastination, and these usually go hand-in-hand with generosity, love and charity; for it is not enough to be one’s self in Bohemia, one must allow others to be themselves, as well. ...
What, then, is it that makes this mystical empire of Bohemia unique, and what is the charm of its mental fairyland? It is this: there are no roads in all Bohemia! One must choose and find one’s own path, be one’s own self, live one’s own life."

Provence

Haystacks in Provence

These earrings are based on a tube bail design I did, but flipped upside down and miniaturized for earrings. I added little loops at the bottom for hanging beads. The etched floral design makes me think of sunflowers, so I knew I wanted some kind of goldenrod color in them. I searched through my stash and these gold coin pearls were just the thing. I tried four or five different color combinations with them, and this amazonite appealed to me the most. The gold and pale robin's egg blue made me think of French country decor!

These are totally South-of-France-vacation earrings, or weekend-shopping-for-French-country-decor earrings. I imagine them worn with something like this:

Leaf Me Alone

{Leaf Me Alone - in peach and lilac - $24}

Spring is coming, right? It is written on the calendar. The groundhog has spoken. Yet there were wee snowflakes floating down as I left for work this morning and the snow is stubbornly refusing to budge.

I am ready for color and pattern and sunnier days. I want to hear the birds and see the buds explode on the tree outside my office window. I long for the flowing water in the river and the ducks waddling along the shore.

Hurry Up Spring! by erin-prais-hintz featuring orange ballet flats

I went in search of some color and found it in this great outfit that matches perfectly with my new Leaf Me Alone earrings, shown here in peach and lilac mottled just so on some brass leaves.

Of course, I like this little leaf shape so much, I made them in a rainbow of sherbet hues just in time for the opening of a local garden center that might be carrying my work. But if you have to have a pair for yourself, let me know and I could make one just for you!
