Spring Earrings Blog Hop!!!!

Well, I'm a few hours late in getting this post up because the battery died in my camera and I had to charge it. The overabundance of Easter ham prevented me from waiting until my camera was charged last night, so we're doing this now :)

First I want to thank EVERYONE who got involved in this blog hop. Especially ace recruiter Cat from BooBeads who got so many people to come on board! This was fun, and I have a few other hops planned so stay tuned!!!

Springtime makes me think of blossoms, new leaves, and pastel colors, so these are the earrings I've made


I used crystals in rose, clear crystal, peridot, and mint alabaster along with gold plated findings. A little chain maille rosette (affectionately but not entirely accurately referred to as a "mobius ring") tops them off.

I've had a chance to take a peek at some of the other entries, be sure you don't miss them!!!! They're all such wonderfully talented artists!!!

    thanks, Cat!! And Sue! I like adding that little wire "cap" with the wrapped loops, I think it adds a little zing :)

    This is gogeous. You know your earring kind of inspired me too. I am feeling like going to my Beading and open the boxes again. Great job. - Love Dita.
