Crimp beads are your friends!
Mar 25th, 2008 Posted in For Sale & Trade, my Arts & Crafts | 2 comments »I made these last night. I was gonig to work on my mommy’s red necklace but I just looked at it and went BLAH! lol… besides, I’ve been wanting to try this idea for ages.
I’m calling them floater earrings for now, because of how the beads look all float-y… but it also reminds me of a shooting star. So… star floater earrings? :-p
I LOVE crimp beads! Okay, so I still break them occasionally but I’m getting the hang of it. I can’t wait to try a floater style necklace. Fire Mountain Gems calls it “intermittent stranding” or some poshy-tosh thing like that… if you go here you can see what I’m talking about. I like the way it looks. Not too crazy about that pendent, but the rest of it is cool.
So without further ado, clicky click the earrings below for a larger view:
And these are the ones for her that match the necklaces I made her (need to re photo them later):
Aaaaand, I thought I’d go ahead and upload pics of some earrings I made ages upon ages ago. I don’t particularly like most of them so I may just end up taking some of them apart and repurposing the beads/fixings:
*ETA* Oh yeah, apologies to all my blogging friends. I haven’t been visiting anyone lately because I just haven’t been in the right mind lately… its been a lot of hard work on my novel, jewelry for my mom and the stresses of working on teeth. Ask my poor roomie… I have NOT been with it! :-/
