Tiny Violets

About this design:

I was procrastinating on a necklace design when the idea just came to me for these little earrings. I had bought the flower beads recently and, while I loved the colors, really wanted to figure out a use for them where you would really see the pretty colors in the center...this is it!

Components:

Vintaj Violet Spring Connector, Vintaj Flower Petal bead cap, Czech glass daisy bead in wisteria.

Thanks everyone! I’m so pleased with how these turned out (along with a similar pair using the Tanglewood piece from Vintaj) that I just bought these glass flowers in every other color Lima Beads carries! I can’t wait until my package arrives and I can go crazy making some of these little guys.

I keep coming back to these beauties and noticing all the little details……..love how the ends of the headspins look like vines climbing up the stem.

These are lovely. I love to put nature in my projects. I have some similar flowers but they are not the same material. I will steal some of your idea, but it will be different! Thanks for sharing your talent.

do you have a site where you sell these earrings or perhaps Lima could make a kit. I love these and want a pair badly

I really adore these earrings!! I am with haggisgrrrl72, perhaps Lima could offer a kit so all of us could make and wear this beautiful design by Sarajo W !! ??? <3 <3
I can't say enough about how lovely they are Sarajo W. Nice work in design and execution.

I’d like to comment on L Rubin’s earrings. I think they are so pretty! I hope you gathered the components from LIMA Beads so I can easily find everything and get busy making some of your little garden treasures.
My thanks to both designers for sharing their creations. Many Blessings!

Sarajo W says:

Wow! Thank you so much everyone! I have to admit that I was a little nervous at first about sharing my designs so publicly but the outpouring of support here at Lima Beads has been amazing. THANK YOU!!

I agree that L Rubin’s earrings are also lovely… I haven’t played with lucite too much, but these inspire me.

haggisgrrrl72, I don’t have a website or anything yet. I’m hoping to get an Etsy shop set up this year… it will be called sjshop but that’s as far as I’ve gotten! These were super easy to make if Lima would get the wisteria daisies back in stock!
