♥ Heart Earrings ♥


 
Since tomorrow is Super Bowl Sunday I'm posting today.
 
I updated this published (in Stringing 2011) design by
 
changing the crystal color and doing a little wire wrap.
 
I'm loving the very pink crystal and only have enough hearts
 
to do 4 pairs of this design. So contact me if you want a pair!
 
{$20. each}
 
I'm only taking the first 4 people who contact me.
 
I can also do a pale pink crystal if desired.
 
Enjoy your weekend!

This design was published in Jewelry Stringing and was actually my first

design published with them!

I plan on doing these but with other a different crystal color.

I'm thinking of doing a variety of earrings
with crystal colors ranging from pinks
to a deeper Marsala color.

Stay tuned!

PS...I am also thinking about making some limited edition kits
w/ basic instructions for your own jewelry making!

***These kits would be for your personal use and not for resale.***

By now you have heard about Pantone's color of the year for 2015.
If not, it's Marsala. A redish-brown color. And its all over Pinterest.


Once, you start looking for it you will see a ton of color pairing ideas
(on Pinterest). There are some that already dislike the color choice and
while I'm not totally sure if I'm in love with it...I think I like it...maybe.

What I like most is the muted color variations that can be paired with it.
(See above)
The wedding color scheme I found can be inspiration for tons of jewelry ideas.

Here are some beads I found (some I've already purchased) from one of my
favorite Etsy shop owners. Karen at ArteBellaSurplus is a joy to work with
and always has the best selection of Czech glass beads around!

Can you tell I'm ready for Spring? Love the Pansies...and
Karen has other colors to choose from! I've already ordered the Plumeria Pansies
and can't wait to create something Spring-y.




Here are my favorite beads, so far, designing around the color Marsala!
Some, I've already ordered as well. ;)

After discovering all the design color possibilities using the color Marsala...
I think my 'maybe' is definitely a Yes!

Do you have any plans to design using this color? If so, what colors will you pair with Marsala?
