We're All Ears: June 2014

The June inspiration photo for the We're All Ears challenge over on the Earrings Everyday blog initially threw me for a bit of a loop.  It's an interesting photo looking up from the bottom of the giant spiral staircase in the Guggenheim Museum.

As I thought about it a little more, the Vintaj Stained Glass Window pieces that I recently purchased came to mind so I had to see if I could make their size and shape work for what I had in mind.  Luckily for me it did!

I simply added ear wires and some little Czech glass and crystal dangles from the bottom.  The dangles remind me a little bit of the lights you see in the darker circles of the photo and the brass piece does a good job representing the central circle.


I can't wait to have time to hop over to Earrings Everyday to see what everyone else made this month!

    1. Thanks, Kristi! The background is actually a close up of a door in Belgium (Brussels I think) that my husband took when we were there in 2012. I just loved the colors and the spirals so I incorporated it into my blog and Etsy banner. I appreciate you stopping by.

  2. That is a great find in your stash, Miss Sarajo! That looks so much like the skylights. I thought I had one of every Vintaj product but apparently I don't, and will have to rectify that. Makes me wonder what they would look like with dictionary printed tissue paper backing the shape and then resin over the top. Hmmmm.... got my wheels spinning! Thank you for joining in the We're All Ears June challenge. Enjoy the day! Erin

    1. I'm glad I'm not the only one with a "gotta catch 'em all" mentality when it comes to Vintaj! This is a fairly new piece from their next to last update I think. I haven't gotten any of the brand new things (I have some other supply orders that are more pressing... and keeping me from getting some projects done) but I've got my wish list going!

  4. I never really focused on the ceiling lights, so your crystal dangles really attracted my attention. I love the window connectors. Perfect! Very cool earrings!

  6. The perfect shaped component to represent the skylight "spiderweb."

  7. You had the perfect component, but your touch of sparkle makes all the difference.
