Bamboo Earrings are sterling silver earrings in a circle shape.
Using wire I made a circle frame with a bamboo landscape in it which after that I painted using my glass resin technique. The leaves are rich emerald green color. The overall effect of the piece is of classic stained glass and the colors change intensity from light and shiny to dark and deep according to the light. The circles measure approx 1.5cm (0.60 in).

Birds on a Wire ::: Day 9
Bird Charm Earrings - Bird on a Wire These earrings are SOLD but I thought they were so dang cute and wanted to post anyway! From Sylvia's etsy "about me page" |
I've always been an on-again, off-again crafter. I'd get involved in something, get all the stuff together, make some great stuff and some grand plans, then life would interfere and drag me away from my creative outlet.
This year, I really am determined to stay on track, continue to create and keep my creative juices flowing. Right now, I'm all into earrings - beaded earrings, paper earrings, trying some upcycled earrings (still in the testing stage). I'm just going to keep following my creative fancy wherever it leads me.

Iolite and Tanzanite Sterling Silver Wire Wrapped Earrings
Iolite and Tanzanite Sterling Silver Wire Wrapped Earrings s09e157 |
A geologist by training, I've always had a love for color, design, texture, and working with my hands. Geology plays a strong role in my jewelry through my use of natural gemstones. I strive to appreciate and celebrate the variety found in nature by choosing gemstones with character.
I like to describe my jewelry as "earthy elegance." I am drawn both to the earthiness of natural gemstones and to the elegant gleam of curving polished sterling silver. Although synthetic gemstones and dyed glass can be extremely beautiful, they do not hold the same allure for me as natural gemstones with all of their charming flaws.
Why "Lava Jewelry"? Well, it fits in with what I do. I love to study volcanoes, and many of my friends will tell you that there are few things in life I love better than red hot magma.
I studied jewelry-making at the Revere Academy of Jewelry Arts in San Francisco, CA, and metalsmithing at Mission College in Santa Clara, CA.
I work in my cat-friendly, smoke-free home and studio.
I live near San Jose, CA, and I like to use my weekends for hiking, camping, and photography.

Elegant Beautiful Wire-wrapped Earrings ::: Day 7
Handmade Copper and Gemstone Chandelier Earrings |
These intricate handmade copper chandelier earrings are a mix of my Moroccan Lace technique and a copper vine design I have used in the past. Beautiful, flashy blue Labradorite beads adorn these rustic, earthy earrings, making them fit for a Goddess. They display a stunning variety of patinas from deep brown from liver of sulfur to a cherry red from the flame of the torch. They measure approximately 2 1/2" from the tips of the handcrafted copper ear wires.
More about Heidi Kinnally...
I am a stay at home mother of 5 great children. I have always found myself drawn to jewelry making and finally have started to give myself a creative outlet. Most of the techniques I use are self-taught through reading, Internet tutorials, and trial and error. I have had some metal smithing training at Kendall School of Art in Design in Grand Rapids, MI, and I continue to take classes whenever something comes up that I think would be beneficial to me as an artist.

Purple feathers??? day 4
Hello My name is Amanda,
I enjoy living in the county with my son the animals and all of nature, I started making feather earrings about 6years ago and have just recently started selling them. I love being creative and making things. I have birds who live free range and happy they have neat feathers and leave them to use, along with yummy eggs. All feathers are UV Sanitized. Because of the diversity in Nature, no two will be the same, which is part of the beauty in using natural material in my handmade arts and crafts.
Featured here are one of my favorites, they really stand out with colors that just pop and fly away curves that are unique and stylish.
Material and features are:
Mother of pearl stars, Hot Pink and Black Feathers 3 1/2" long, Funky and Fun, Silver Wire wrapped, UV sanitized, and Surgical Steel Ear-Wires*

Happy New Year! 2012
This is the first feature for the blog and I wanted to bring in the New Year with a Jingle! I love these ornament earrings and thought I would share.
Meet Teresa Penrose...a little bit of information about her in her own words.
"I began making jewelry in 2008. It all started because I'd been looking for a pair of earrings to match a ring I had. One day I had walked into a Tall Mouse craft store to purchase a frame, when I saw their Bead Lounge. I decided I would make my own earrings and so took a class to learn. I loved it so much, I took another class, and another, and another. Next thing I knew I was hooked! I love creating new and beautiful items. Most of my jewelry can be on the expensive side, so this year I decided to create some festive and affordable earrings just for Christmas. I started wearing them where I work and I've had many sales that way! I'm trying to keep each pair unique - as you can see in the pictures listed."
You can visit Teresa on the web through her blog and Etsy shops:
