Sea Glass Inspired Earrings
I love chandelier earrings, I love beaded earrings, and I love making earrings. My wardrobe consists of a lot of turquoise and green. I made a green pair of earrings over a year ago that has a mix of browns, tans and dark greens. I love them and wear them often, but they just don’t go with all of my green tops… In fact, they don’t go with the Christmas shirt I just embellished. I decided to use the left over beads to make a complementary pair, which combines my favorite colors. The base frame for my earrings are my favorite to use, this is now the third pair I’ve made for myself using this frame.

Green Chandelier Earrings

I didn’t get a great photo, due to the dark and snowy weather.

I made a pair just before Christmas and I made this pair yesterday, I’d say my earring fetish has been feed, at least for a while longer…

What is your guilty indulgence?

I have this cute flutter sleeve t-shirt that I’d like to wear on Christmas. The problem is it’s a very plain shirt, white and colorless. I never wear white, so this pale shirt was in need of a little pop of color. First I looked through my craft materials, I looked at ribbons first then opted for some shimmery beads. I embellished the neck, making an asymmetrical pattern to my left hand side. I haven’t decided if I’m going to do anything to the lower right hand corner, I need sometime to stew it over.

Before - Plain T-shirt

After - Cheerful & Festive

Now I just need to figure out which cardigan to pair it with…

What do you think?

Merry Christmas everyone!
