As I've mentioned before, I was more than a little crunched for time this month. The challenge didn't immediately spark anything for me, but I kept working on things in the back of my mind. My thoughts eventually went to some millefiori glass coin beads that I've had in my stash for quite a while.
I was able to come up with a few well matched pairs from the strand of millefiori beads and kept it simple by just making variations of the same design. I just added some small Czech glass (and in one case, crystal) beads and brass components. I hope you enjoy my little trio of earrings!
