Last year, I was chosen to be part of the Echo Creative Club by Jeannie Dukic! She sends us beads, we send her beads, and we each make something! I chose beads from her faux stoneware collection, and of course neglected to take a photo of them when I got them! Here's an example of a similar color to mine! Mine are turquoise with copper accents.
I was going to make a bracelet with them, but I really liked them and wanted a pair of earrings for myself to wear. So, I decided to make three different styles of earrings!
This first uses a pair of leaf connectors from Kristi Bowman and indonesian glass seed beads.
This second pair uses a pair of copper matchsticks that I made - annealed, pounded, textured, pickled, antiqued and sealed! Lots of steps but I love the look!
And finally, my favorite pair; beaded beads that I made myself that go together perfectly with Jeannie's beads!
I hope you enjoyed what I made with Jeannie's beads, and please go visit her blog to see …
