More earrings

Here are some more earrings made with the same method.
The coral ones use the same style of bead in three sizes - graduated to give a nice shape.
The ivory ones are using irregular polished stone chips teamed with tiny cream lined clear seed beads. You can get a lot of looks from this very simple method depending on the beads you use.

I also like to buy fun bead earrings and replace the ear wire with sterling silver for wearing comfort.

Earrings

Having jammed the sewing machine up on a friday evening after a long week at work, I decided it would be easier to sort out with fresh eyes at another time and switched it off.

So feeling creative I decided to take some of my many beads and make myself a few pairs of earrings.

I have sensitive ears and have to wear gold, silver or some hypo-allergenic brands, so I used silver hooks for these earrings. I have dark hair which I often wear down, and a fairly short neck. Having experimented a bit I realised my earrings need to be light or bright (dark ones just don't show at all), neither too small not too large, and about this length - long enough to hang down from the ears, but not so long that my short neck is too obvious.
If I want to wear dark earrings I have to have my hair swept up or clipped back to showcase them.
