First up is a pair that I kept really simple. I made little dangles out of Lapis and brass rounds and left it alone. I made these to go with the necklace I made for the AJE Component of the Month reveal in January. If you missed it, you can see that post HERE.
I got a tiny bit fancier with my second pair. Inspired by the "Frosted Forest" theme over on the Vintaj website (click HERE to see what I mean), I decided to frost the drops with a pale pink to match the little lampwork beads that I got as a thank you from The Spacer Bead Shop. Instead of using the white patina, I frosted with a mix of the Quartz and Ruby. I tried just the lighter pink Quartz at first, but it is such a pale pink that when I wiped it away it just looked white. I tried again mixing in the darker, pinker Ruby and got a much better effect.
These are both now available in my Etsy shop HERE.
Great earrings with awesome patina!
