It's the end of August, which means it's time for another Art Jewelry Elements challenge! This month it was a headpin design challenge, and I am ALL OVER IT! I have a few headpin tutorials over at the Art Jewelry Elements blog:
Flower Disc Bead Earrings
Flower Headpin Earrings
Earring Stacks with Headpins
And then I made all of these other earrings with my headpins!
These earrings used pretty filigree copper bead caps with czech beads and a size 8 seed bead.
These earrings used a gorgeous brass bead cap with a titanium hematite rondelle and a size 8 seed bead in a complementary color.
These beach inspired earrings used an ammonite headpin with titanium hematite spacers, and a gorgeous coppered aqua pumpkin bead, an indonesian bead, a wood bead, and a size 11 seed bead to capture all of the elements of the beach!
And these earrings, which are also beach themed, using an ammonite headpin, titanium hematite spacer beads, czech faceted rondelles and a titanium hematite round.
I was also inspired by these pretty enameled beads that I have been making to turn them into headpins as well!
And I made even more!
And yes, I was so excited by this topic I made beach headpins too! These headpins are not perfectly shaped, on purpose; I wanted a little character with these headpins!
So, as you can see, I really enjoyed the challenge this month! Please check out what everyone else who participated made by visiting their links! Thanks for stopping by! Oh, and you can find my headpins in my SueBeads etsy store!
