Earrings of the Day...#77

Trendy Flower Earrings in Red and White

Today's pair of earrings are also made of glass but a different type of mold/ design then my previous pairs of earrings that I've made so far. Did I mention I love flowers...I was playing I do! I still used the hoop finding and just wrapped the beads around the hoop, added a Bali silver bead cap and another frosted round glass bead. I then made Swarovski crystal dangles with sterling silver bead caps and hung them from gunmetal ear wires.

Earrings of the Day



Earrings are listed in my etsy store

Day 80 and another pair of earrings, Trendy Flower Earrings in Gold. As I mentioned before I have been flower crazed and these are an result of this ficition. It's funny when beads are purchase (at least this happens for me) I either have specific plans and/or no plans for the beads. But months sometimes years later beads and findings just come together and create a wonderful bracelet, an elegant necklace or a lovely pair of earrings like these.

Earrings for today...

I'm a little behind in posting not making earrings. Since the update for the Internet Explorer took place everything has been on pause. For the first two days I could not get on the Internet and some of my accounts didn't work Blogger being one of them but the good people of Google have solved that dilemma for now!

Anyway this pair of earrings a day adventure started on Sunday, October 9, 2011. Its actually 84 days to the end of the year but my goal is 90 pair.

So here are four pair to make up for not posting day 84-82 plus one, day 81

I have been on the flower kick lately and I just ordered 1000 pcs of the Lucite flower beads, so I'll be up to my neck in these beads for a while.

I will also host a few giveaways for jewelry and beads so please spread the word!

I just bought this cool mystery grab bag from Dew Drop Vintage on etsy. I can't wait to see what goodies I"m going to get! I promise to share.

90 days of earrings and counting

I get stumped when making jewelry and have to seek different avenues to get inspired. I LOVE earrings and I believe a girl can never ever have too many pair, besides earrings were the first thing that I created when I started making jewelry.

So, I picked up a copy of the books pictured below and caught some inspiration and guidance. My etsy store needs to be stocked up for the Holidays, so the plan is to make 1.5 earrings a day until the end of the year. If my calculations are correct I actually will have 126 pair of earrings (I started yesterday). I always make more than one pair when I sit for a session. I usually do about 5 pair in an hour. So, I should have more than enough inventory for the etsy shop, consignments and private jewelry parties.

So here is to 90 pairs of earrings...starting with the pair published in this month's Bead Trends (Oct 2011). The earrings titled "Sunset Blooms" are on page 65. Please see below. Check out a video about this issue and meet Tatia Meyer, Editor of Bead Trends.

98 designs and counting...

Here are a couple of things I made...this morning literally.

I wanted to post these just to show I made progress.

I haven't named this piece yet.

Black mother of pearl shell, Obsidian and Black Onyz

with cotton waxed cord and toggle clasp.

Follow Your Heart

freshwater pearls, bali silver, Swarovski and Celestial crystal with white waxed cotton cord and a toggle clasp.

100 designs + a tutu in 14 days

I have set a goal I know so HIGH that it's going to be nearly impossible to complete but that's the beauty of a goal, especially one as challenged as this!

This is the deal I set the 100 designs for the month of October but to no avail as of today, I've only completed 1 pair of earrings and half a necklace. I'm trying to build inventory for a couple of parties coming up in November and hopefully for those to following December.

You know the worst part is (you thought I gave you the bad news already - NO) I'm having designer's block (like writer's block, I have those too!), so I in stuck mode. I'll work through it besides...The Michaels' Challenge will help me at least get a couple of necklaces actually completed...we shall see!
