More earrings

More cubes....something very simple with swarovski crystal drops in blue....my fave colour.

Earrings challenge

I love cube beads!
I adapted this design from a bracelet pattern by Barbara Falkowitz in Beadwork magazine.

Earrings # 5

I enjoyed making this colourful design by Julie Olah published in Bead &Button magazine.

Earrings #4

So it's the 10th day of the month and I've made precicely how many pairs of earrings?
I am way behind schedule : (

In my defence I have to say that I have been on vacation and travelled for a couple of days and then my daughter returned from overseas and....so on!

And then this last pair of earrings was quite fiddly and took me 2 days to complete!

This is a design I found rummaging through my Bead and Button magazines - they are so great for inspiration, techniques and stretching your boundaries!

These earrings were designed by Aurelio Castano.

Earring challenge #3

Some simple little medallions today...again from Beth Stone's book.
I like these...I might make them in other colours...what do you think?

Earring challenge #2

I need to do a bit of catching up!
Day 4 and I have made 2 1/2 pairs of earrings....it's not so easy when you are on holiday and the surf is calling...but maybe I can catch up when I get home next week?

Beading challenge

I've decided to extend myself and take part in Beading Daily's earrings-every-day challenge for January 2012.
These are all going to be made by beadweaving...you know using those impossibly small seed beads.
The first ones I made using a design by Beth Stone in Seed Bead Stitching.
