It's Fun to Create!

Telling you about Miss Maya will have to wait because I just have to share with you a new pair of earrings I made today!  They're wire from the hardware store and paper with an image printed upon it.  I'm quite chuffed with how they worked out.

I got the inspiration from the amazing Deryn Mentock (her Musical Note Earrings from an article in 'Step by Step Wire Jewellery' Feb/Mar 2010) and the equally fabulous Shannon Le Vart (her leaf shaped earrings in 'Belle Armoire Jewelry' Dec/Jan/Feb 2010). The images are from Wikimedia Commons for the butterflies (copyright free images from all over the world) and the background is from the very talented Cathe Holden (who very generously provides a wealth of images for free download).  Thankyou to you all!

I don't have them anymore, though.  They've gone to our younger son's preschool and into the Mother's Day gift box to be drawn out by one of the children for them to give to their mum on Mother's Day.

Goodbye little earrings, you were made with love and I hope you bring the wearer a great deal of joy, whoever she may be.

What are you hoping to recieve for Mother's Day?

Take care,
Ange
