An Oldie, but Goodie!
My “Forbidden Fruit” Drop Earrings were designed seven years ago, but I’ve always loved this project! This is a Geometric beaded design, but the Delica, drop, and Rizo beads change the look! The shape and colors of the beads create so much texture. I’ve been drawn once again to getting out my beads and I want to explore more possibilities with this design…perhaps stopping the shape at the point shown above and suspending the earring from three beaded strands as one would hang a chandelier or basket. Now all I have to do is find time! Spring has sprung with summer fast approaching and with it all the chores one has to do after having hunkered indoors all winter. Granted during the past few months I have spent more time in my metals studio, but even that time has been infringed upon with trips to the greenhouse buying herbs and flowers to plant, scrubbing decks and the screened porch to make ready ready for outdoor living, etc. Eventually, I’ll be taking my beads outdoors and creating new designs. In the meantime you can find the tutorial and kits for my “Forbidden Fruits” Drop Earrings in my Etsy shop!
