Bird & Feather Earrings

I don't often make earrings anymore.  I literally made hundreds of pairs a week during my busy season a few years ago.  I really enjoyed making this "birds of a feather" pair using distressed feathers, glass drops, and copper birds with sterling silver French hooks.

I would like to enter this in the following challenges:

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hand painted fairies and dragonflies

 

I called this the butterfly lady.  This is a larger heavier casting.  She sells for $18.

 

A set of copper fairies in red with blonde hair.  Necklace is made of many individual links with glass seed beads, cathedral glass and copper.  Notice the star toggle clasp.  Frenchooks hooks are surgical steel with copper accents.  Frenchhooks can be changed to accommodate any allergies or even made into post for those without pierced ears!  Although this set is no longer available a similar set would range $45.  Earrings alone $15.

 

A set or iris painted dragonflies with copper links of seed beads, czech glass and coppertone beads.  This style of necklace is no longer available but could design something similar.

 

I have nice choices of color combinations and I sometimes do them again as seen below.  But rarely are two pairs EXACTLY the same!  Large Copper Dragonfly Earrings are $18.
