Seeing the picture I actually had an immediate idea...just had to find the beads in my current disorganization/reorganization...hopefully I'll have a post on that later. You can click here to see the original post including the inspiration for April's design.
Apologies for the somewhat crummy picture...I was experimenting...since my photo cube is unavailable during the re-organziation. Lampwork beads from Pinocean. Enamel leaves from Sue Beads. Ceramic birds from Gaea. They don't have a name yet...I'm not so great at naming my jewelry...so if you have any ideas feel free to help a girl out and post suggestions in comments! :)
I love that the asymmetry is so well balanced that it isn't immediately noticeable, Kari :) Beautiful design!
ReplyDeleteLovely beads and components - those lampwork beads are perfect for this challenge!
ReplyDeleteSorry I can't help you with a name - I'm hopeless at such things but I do love your design and use of handmade components, very fresh and 'springy' (in the seasonal sense!) xx
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty, Kari! I'm really liking the asymmetrical design to these as well.
ReplyDeleteAll of the components you used are beautiful and well chosen.
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies for all the lovely comments! I had to take my daughter on some errands earlier so I'm late getting a chance to hop but I'm off to do that now...can't wait to see what everyone else shared :)
ReplyDeleteThe balanced asymmetry of these is great! I am always trying to do that and fail miserably with my attempts. I think you nailed it! I love these sweet little dove shapes and Pinocean is a guilty pleasure that I stalk but never seem to be quick enough to get. I think I have those same leaves! Hmmm.... I love to name things... how about Lovey Dovey as they look like two love birds in their nest! ;-) Thanks for joining in the We're All Ears Challenge. Enjoy the day! Erin
ReplyDeleteLovey a Dovey is a perfect name, Erin. I can never think of cute names. (Even my cats went unnamed for far too long.) Kari, I know what you mean by the challenge of studio organization; I think many of us can relate to that. I love your cute earrings and the balanced asymmetry that you have achieved. All of those beads are sweet, especially the lampwork ones. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job! I make a lot of asymmetrical necklaces, but I can't seem to pull it off with earrings. Yours are perfect. So glad you decided to play along! Erin has added a side bar link to the challenges, so now, if you miss the post about the next challenge, all you'll have to do is click on the link from the right sidebar. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely earrings .. love them :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pair! I love how you positioned the bird bead in different places -- cute detail!
ReplyDeleteLove those differently arranged lil birds :)
ReplyDeleteHa, I've entirely given up on naming mine, so I'm afraid I'll be of no help. But a lovely design you've got there, I love asymmetrical earrings (and I just can't do them right myself)!
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty! I love the asymmetrically balanced design. Very very pretty earrings! I hope you will participate in May :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty earrings!!
