Movie Earrings..

by Annabel on 04/16/17
The green disc and copper and silver tones was also for my sister-in-law.

All three sets were made while plonked on the couch, watching movies...
Components: From Lima Beads: All the wire, the lovely seafoam sea beads, the utterly gorgeous icy pink quartz wheels that have been sitting in my stash, staring at me since I bought it over a year ago, the various copper and bronze spacers. From my own stash and the local bead store: The plain little bead caps, the green life saver beads (recycled glass Ghana disc beads) and Picasso seed beads - big red ones and the small turquoise ones, the silver toned drop beads which were aged with boiled egg and then buffed and lacquered. The burgundy small beads are polymer clay beads, made by me ages ago. I also made the ball headpins with the dreaded mega torch. The wire gauge is a bit big, but they were all I had on hand when making the earrings and I was not up to going outside and making more in the dark with a smaller wire gauge.

Components: Wire for earwires, Lima Beads. Sea glass drops, also from Lima Beads (adore those and put more on my list for next big order). Those delicious orange life saver beads from a Ghana fair trade Etsy shop, as were the recycled glass teeny tiny tulip beads. Textured copper (whacked on this really old copper coin found in my dad's stash of washers - not copper sadly, copper washers are so rare here), made myself. Textured and then aged with boiled egg (local stocks of liver of sulfur are non-existent at present) and lacquered. Czech turquoise glass bead on the life saver earrings from my own stash and the stripey blue unpolished beads on top of that are polymer clay beads that I made myself a while ago while trying to imitate turquoise - how it went stripey, I still don't know.
