A Hint Of Nature's Bounty

It's been awhile since I have been able to post, but here I am. I will be better organized with pictures for the next post, but everything seems to be a mangled mess around here! Lol!

 

 

I am just glad to be back making jewelry again. I have struggled with pain in my hands for the last year or so, but I am working through it one day at a time. I look forward to posting many more pairs of earrings in the near future. I created these to be earthy and rustic. I wanted them to go with anything.

Available for purchase on Etsy

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Fresh Ivy Leaves

I made a slew of new patina earrings for a show I did on the weekend. I also have a couple wholesale customers that may be interested, but these ones are going into my Etsy shop. I don't think they will last long, so don't wait if you like them.

 I was inspired to make these because of the beautiful weather we have been having. It is starting to feel like Summer and I am certainly ready for it!

Stop by my Etsy Shop to find these and many more earrings...

A Touch of Old World Charm

I was lucky enough to spend some time with our beloved Heather Powers at her home in Michigan. What a fantastic time we had. Getting to meet her, her family and a few special beady friends was one of the greatest times of my life!! I was lucky enough to learn some amazing things while I was there, including the technique that made these leaves look like old world artifacts that were dug up out of the ground.

 I can't wait to get my hands on the products I need to make more of these! How fantastic and fun! Looking forward to many more creations with my little collection of Old World artifacts ;)

You can find these in my Etsy shop!!

To Outdo A Gypsy!

Did you know that in the gypsy culture they are always trying to outdo one an another? For example, if one gypsy girl had shall we say earrings? that measured 4 inches long and had 10 diamond filigrees on each earring, the next gypsy girl would get 5 inch earrings with 14 diamond filigrees on each earring and Swarovski crystals at the end... and so on and so on...

 Well I am OK with that! I love to make these large and long gypsy earrings! They are fun and full of elegance and whimsy! The crystals on these are Montana Blue, but any other colour is doable if you want something with more bling!  I change them up as you have seen if you follow this blog. I have a large variety of them since they are one of my top sellers!

You can find these in my Etsy shop. I don't think I have much left other than these, but hope top change that this week. 
Feel free to request your own gypsy style earrings, I can create something special just for you!!

Stop by again soon!

Spring Flowers!

I have been feeling spring inspired lately! I can't wait for my trees to start blooming in the backyard. I am so done with winter! I think my kids are there too, one of the refused to wear anything but shorts to school today! What can you do! 

 I fell in love with these flower beads and I hope you will too. I took the time to decorate the earwires to make them extra special.
You will be able to find these in my Etsy shop this morning. I have a lot of new pieces going in in the next couple days, so stop by often!

Weeping Willow Earrings in Steampunk!

This month is a very special month for me. I am the Bead Partner for Vintaj Natural Brass. I have been using Vintaj since almost the very beginning of my Jewelry making career and I LOVE their products! It was an honour to be invited to participate in this program. I think the pieces that the Vintaj team have created are astounding and Gorgeous! I have created a few pieces myself, to help inspire you on how to use my wood tiles. But that is for my Skye Jewels blog, so follow me there to see more.

 I created these Asymmetrical earrings using these fun tiles from my Weeping Willow collection. I will make more and add them to my Supply shop for those of you who create your own jewelry. For those of you who don't or just really LOVE to buy earrings, you will find these in my Jewelry Shop!

I hope you are curious about what the Weeping Willow challenge is all about and will take a minute to visit the Vintaj Blog to learn more about it.

Thanks for visiting

Old World Style!

 One of my favourite things to work with is Verdigris pieces. I love the old world charm that it brings to any piece. One of my favourite things to mix it with however is red and Black Brass! So rich and romantic!

These are the two pairs available in my Etsy Shop right now. I will be adding more this week. So much to do and so little time! I am looking to some of my Pinterest Boards for inspiration on designing more of these in unique combinations!

Have fun shopping and wear Earrings Everyday!!

Steampunk Style!

I just finished a new batch of steampunk earrings. I am excited to show you a couple pairs today. I don't know what it is lately but the thought of gears and clock parts inspires me! It seems right to mix metals in these as well. I made a few asymmetrical and others matching. They all have a fun mix of gun metal grey, copper and brass.

 You will find these are a few others in my Etsy Shop. I hope you take the time to visit and shop around!

Thoughts of Spring

I am really looking forward to spring. The weather here has been really nice and I hope it stays that way. When it's too cold it's sometimes hard to get out of bed. These earrings are just perfect for spring! Some pale fresh green lampwork glass beads and flower dangles.

 These and many more fun and eclectic earrings are available in my ETSY shop!! So head on over and have a look! I would also love to read your comments.

Flight of Fancy

These wings are still some of my favorites to work with. I love the dark brass and the versatility. They are also a great seller for me. I love that people love them. I make sure to try different things with them. Different styles of bead caps, different beads... it keeps them interesting. 

 Here is a darker more "vampire" version of the earrings. Love the deep red crystals in this pair. 
I hope this will entice you to shop today! You will find both these pairs in my Etsy shop. Have a great week!

Dressed Up Dahlia

The wonderful richness of these colours always inspires me to be more natural! They almost seem to have been plucked right from nature! I love that these are both art beads, completely from different artists and seem to have been made for each other <3

Kaleidoscope

These are some seriously fun earrings and I considered keeping them for myself. Of course I know if I started doing that I would never have any earrings to sell! I called the Kaleidoscope because of the multitude of colours in the beads. I love the way they shimmer.

 These are all done in copper and patina-ed. You will find these and many other designs in my Etsy Shop. You can use coupon code EARRINGSEVERYDAY to save on your purchase today.

Tantalizing Orange

My mom is in love with these earrings. I will most likely make her a pair at some point, but for now these are for you! They have a really Vintage feel and a real splash of colour! I was inspired by Pantone's Fashion colours although this is not quite Nectarine, I still wanted to use something in the orange tones.

Here is a closeup of the amazing orange colour of the tear drop beads. I just love how bright they are! Can't miss them!

Listed in my Etsy shop for purchase now...

Romantique Filigree

I have used these thick filigree pieces on quite a few pairs of earrings and I truly love them. They make the earrings feel so romantic and elegant. You may have guessed I have a bit of a romantic side by now? lol

They are long, and long to me stands out. I want my earrings to stand out, why wear them otherwise? All Brass and lampwork beads, perfect to wear all year! You can Find them HERE in my Etsy shop as well as many other things.

Drops of Fun!

I have a secret love of polymer clay. These little drops are just simply too adorable not to be paired with some ornate bead caps and girly flowers! I have been particularly drawn to the colour turquoise lately and just loved the way these flowers pulled those tones from the background of the charms.

 These bead caps just make gooey all over. Sooo ornate and just amazing! They fit some nicely over the flowers. Simply perfect!

You can find these and other designs in my ETSY shop. There is even still a sale on just for today... AWHOLIDAY will save you 15% at checkout!! but remember, it's for cyber Monday only!!

A touch of Vintage

 Inspired by something I was at a glance worn by someone on a TV show. I really liked the idea of a simple bead dangling from a stem. It looked simple but elegant with a touch of rustic fun!

I made two pairs that have different colours of beads and different styles of bead caps. The tubes are Vintage upcycled brass tubes that I took off of a necklace ages ago. I have kept them for something special and used 4 with these. I am very pleased with the results. You can find these and many other earrings in my Jewelry Shop on Etsy. I hope you go pay a little visit and have a look around!

STeamPunk STyle

I have been experimenting more with a fun style called steampunk lately. I am actually surprised by how many people locally have no idea what steampunk is! I have been trying to educate them a little and help them discover this wonderful and eclectic style!

 I made some pieces for a client to go with their Halloween costumes. I am excited to say they were quite pleased and excited that I was able to make the pieces for them. Of course that is where the rest of the pieces in My Etsy Shop came from. Inspired by what I had created for my customers, I just went with it!

 Of course this is a blog about earrings, so pictured here are only the Steampunk earrings I made. To see the rest you will have to hop over to my shop...

So have fun shopping for your Steampunk style pieces!! You never know what you might fall in love with!
