Well Erin again has given us stunning pictures to use to create our earrings. I loved all three, but kept coming back to the first one. I just love the waving of the seaweed and the coral and shells. I have a stash of shells that my daughter has collected over the years, so she said I could use them. The purple shells, the opaque, and the brown spiral shells I used and drilled the holes for them myself. The others I had from jewelry strands I already had.
This is my daughter, Sydny, helping me by
modeling the earrings. We went to beach by our
house to take the pictures. Man was it hot! But
she did good!
she did good!
Here are two close ups of both earrings. I had a blast creating these. The idea came almost immediately upon seeing the picture. I created them that day. The goldy looking chain is to represent the swaying seaweed.
Thanks for looking. And tune back in later this month and in July for more challenges I am in. And on July 17th for the next We're All Ears for July!

Wow! Creative!
ReplyDeleteWow, these are real statement earrings! I love how you have created the effect of shells and seaweed beautifully tossed and entangled together out at sea then washed ashore. They are very 'Pirates of the Caribbean'!
ReplyDeleteYour daughter is very pretty, I love the colour of her hair and she is the perfect model for your creations...xx
