The focal point of both earrings are amazing Lampwork Beads by Andrea Guarino-Slemmons.
Above I used a pair of my Copper Paisley Headpins and a Czech Glass Bead.

In this pair I used Gorgeous Lampwork Headpins by UgliBeads and a little bit of Sari Silk,
I'd have a difficult time choosing a favorite!
Both pair are listed in my Etsy Shop.

Spikes

Bronze Age Spike Earrings
I'm having a love affair with these amazing rough crystal points!
Above I combined these beautiful lampwork beads with a very subtle scroll design with Bronze Coated Crystal Points from


Aurora Borealis Spike Earrings

The next day I woke up in the middle of the night thinking about these. I recently received these amazing Lampwork Beads from BeadFairy and I knew I had these AB Coated Crystals in my stash that would be the perfect match. I actually resisted getting up in the middle of the night to make them but I did make them as soon as I got up!

Now I'm digging through my work table to see what other crystals I have hiding that I might be able to put together more of these cool earrings!

During the day I wandered over to this lovely area and was lucky enough to spot this Cedar Waxwing, only the second time I've seen one and I was able to get a much better picture of this one!

Earring Challenge Reveal #19, Weeks 39 & 40/52

Time is definitely moving along swiftly these days. These last 2 weeks have been so busy I didn't get these earrings made until the last minute. One pair I made last night one I just made 10 minutes ago. But I really enjoy making earrings and taking part in this challenge so I made it happen....just barely!

Last night's creation are made with beads from Jen Camerona of Glass Addictions.
I really tried to show the beauty of these beads and I got close but not quite.



This morning I made earrings using amazing discs by Sue Kennedy of SueBeads. I've had a couple ideas brewing for these discs but when I pulled these little leaves out of my kiln this morning I knew the right pairing had finally presented itself.
Yes not only did I make the earrings this morning, the little leaves are fresh out of the kiln as well.
The leaves are molded from some Polymer Clay leaves I made recently.



I hope to get these listed today.
Don't miss the other creations of the past 2 weeks, the blog hop is at the end of this post.

Join us in 2 weeks for our next reveal.



Oh and I haven't named either pair, I always struggle with the naming part.
 If anybody out there has a great name for either pair please share it, I'd love all the help I can get!

I have 5 pair to show you this time, I seemed to be really in to using fiber this time around because 3 of my earrings have fiber accents on them.

These Blue Jean Baby earrings start with wonderful Glass Headpins by Diane of Sowzere then I stacked some Turquoise Sari Silk a colorful Greek Ceramic bead a glass bead and a pop or red with a little Czech glass bead like the cherry on top!

Burgundy and Brass
I made these Poppy drops in Burgundy start this next pair off, then I scrounged around my stash for the perfect rustic Brass bead and another touch of Sari Silk to finish these Burgundy and Brass Earrings.

Industrialized
Super cool Electroformed Lampwork beads by Leah of BeadsOfPassion sandwiched between some earthy Czech glass beads and Mesh Dangle in Copper that I made finish this very raw Industrialized pair of earrings.
