I love creating earrings.
They are a small enough project to provide almost instant gratification.
They give me the opportunity to test colourways, metals and materials on a small scale before commiting to a larger and more time-consuming project.
Oh, and I love wearing them too :-)
My 'Ophelia' earrings are one of my latest designs...
In shades of olive and sage, with antiqued brass findings and chain, they have a decidedly vintage look to them...just the look I was aiming for!
Ophelia was a character in Shakespeare's 'Hamlet', and the subject of a number of paintings by John William Waterhouse...the name seemed just right for my romantic, vintage-look earrings...
There is a matching 'Ophelia' bracelet and necklace to come. And the set will form part of a future collection that I have planned. Stay tuned!
Thanks for looking, and be well!
Gorgeous B. You capture the essence of your projects so well. What a talent you are.
