Oh, no! I almost (well, I
did) forgot about Kristi Bowman's February Earring Challenge! I won't make excuses and I'll apologize that I only have the one photo of my earrings. I decided to go with the Damsel Flys as my buggy inspiration. That, and I'm currently having a crush affair with Ancient Egypt so I decided to try something "scarab-y" looking. I know there was only the faaaaaaaintest touch of yellow in the picture Kristi gave us, but my scarabs (such as they are) have yellow bodies, copper "wings" and flower bead caps for the heads. The blue bead is an accent and because it's the closest thing I have to lapis in my hoard. Go
here to check out Kristi's design (and inspiration photo) and see what everyone else has done. (and, next month, I'll try to stay on top of it... and more pics!)
Love these - big bold and sassy
ReplyDeleteVery pretty earrings! And I do love the way the filigree cap mimics the delicate structure of the damsel's wings.

ReplyDeleteThese are really neat. I especially like how you got the wing look with the bead caps. Way to go!
ReplyDeleteYour earrings have a nice layered look. I love the filigree to mimic the wings.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great design that combines your two inspirations!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like the inspiration picture that I selected for this first challenge! I love that the filigree looks just like the wings of the damselflies. Join us next month! Thank you for joining in the Earrings Everyday We're All Ears Challenge! Enjoy the day. Erin
