Day 21 of Challenge 2012 - 365 earrings in 365 days

21.  Does that make us legal?

If there had ever been a Plan A, today's pair would be Plan B.  More likely C or D.  But that's the creative fun in this here challenge!  No plans.  No worries.  And, so far, 21 pairs of earrings in as many days.  Woot!

I kinda like the mix of beads in this pair.  There's natural shell, glass, and metal so it seems the design is about combining textures. The color is neutral.  I wanted to add a pop of red but didn't have any suitable beads so went with black and i think doing so kept the design from losing its direction.  hahahaha!!  Like we had direction to begin with!

Anyhoo....

Supplies:
(2) heart shaped shell beads
(2) 6mm Swarovski bicones (jet)
(2) random metal beads  (Are they bows?  Are they butterflies?)
head pins and 24gauge plated wire
(2) gunmetal ear wires

I'd wear this pair, too!  Just 44 more - oops! - make that THREE HUNDRED44 more pairs to not plan.

p.s. We're headed Out West this weekend.  I'll be forced to engage in a bit o' planning if i think i'm going to make earrings while on the road for the next three weeks.  yeehaw.  I'll keep you updated.
