AJE Earring Challange #15

These beautiful blue lampwork beads, the ceramic leaves, and the "Earring Creations" themselves above, are all made by Jennifer.  A little added Swarovski sparkle and some Sari Silk just make for a fun pair of earrings!

I made these copper earrings by adding lampwork flowers by Steve Rhoades of Bokomo Designs.  I attached them with lampwork headpins by Jennifer...a little hand-dyed ribbon brings them together.

AJE Earring Challenge #12

Still fascinated with the Peyote Stitch, which I used to bring these beautifully faceted Crystal Volcano Square Rings together.  Nothing beats the dazzle of a Swarovski Crystal!



 

My granddaughter, Cat, who also photographs our Earrings, made this fun pair of Giraffe Earrings.  They were painted with patina, and finished with lampwork by Jennifer of Dry Gulch Beads and Jewelry.  A little bit of fiber adds that perfect finishing touch.

These 10mm Rounds were special ordered directly from Swarovski.  The sparkling brillance and beauty of these Crystals are so appealing.  For more information on these, check here in our Etsy Store.

AJE Earring Challenge Reveal #6

These iridescent lampwork beads by Jennifer of Dry Gulch Beads and Jewelry have a very soft purple/blue hue to them.   They are accented with copper caps, and are sitting on an enameled headpin.  The copper rectangles have been gently touched with patina.

  

Since I have a thing for Chandelier Earrings, I felt I should make a pair.  We used some findings from our Store, crystalized them, and they turned into butterflies.  So...with lots of wire-wrapped Swarovski crystal, a hammered and texturized wire, and  lampwork beads by Jennifer of Dry Gulch Beads and Jewelry, they became Butterfly Windchime Earrings.
