A new project is in the works…
I just couldn’t resist making earrings that coordinate with my “Fantasy Flora” Cuff. The Rizo and Magatama beads I’m using accent the Delicas beautifully adding textural interest to the geometry. They are integral to the design as they form clusters of seeds on this Exotic Flora Drop. I envision a stem for the dangle and at the moment, I’m leaning toward the idea of a hammered steel wire wrapped with a textured polymer clay vine. Or, I could simply weave a beaded length using 15/0 seed beads and attach it to an earwire. I never really know how a piece will look upon completion until I’m there!
