Spring Lilies Earrings
About this design:
I wanted to make a pair of earrings from the Vintaj Spring Rain Earring Kit. First, I used a small paintbrush to paint the desired colors (from the Vintaj weathered copper patina kit) of patina onto the piece. Then I used the 1.25mm Euro punch pliers to punch 2 extra holes in the piece. I sanded the patinas and the arte metal to the desired look. I then made the charms using the Vintaj pearl head pins (24 g). Attach the charms using the Vintaj arte metal jump rings and the French ear wire. All done!

Cathy W says:Thanks ladies! The patinas are super fun to work with. I would check them out if you haven’t yet. I just used a small paint brush to apply the color exactly where I wanted it. Super easy!!!

Batticat says:Oh Cathy, I’m so excited! Your earrings are so beautiful, and lily of the valley is my birth flower. You’ve solved a problem for me. I love Green Girl Studios pewter charms, but I have a hard time figuring out what to combine them with so they show up well. I think I’ll try the copper patinas on the little mermaid girl pendant, that I’ve been struggling with to make a necklace for my sister. Those would be sort of seaweedy and salt water colors that could really work with the theme. Thank you so much! Marilyn T.

Linny May says:I to love Lilys of the Valley , they have always been my fav flower since i was very little , i now have my own lily … my daughter .. Lily May , and i forgot were it was but i read that lilys of the valley was named from little bell flowers of May , so it was ironic that may was a family name and my daughter got lily may and lilys of the valley are my fav flowers , and my jewerly come with a card with lily’s of the Valley jewerly design attached … i’m always happy to see lilysof the valley’s used , or even sold as jewerly , or anything , seems like those gourgouse little fairy skirt looking flowers are over looked for Daisy , roses , dalihas etc
