Day 24 of Challenge 2012 -365 earrings in 365 days

As we were driving across the vast flatness that is eastern Kansas, we were, uh, struck by its vast flatness.  Then we we hit the Flint Hills at sunset. How beautiful it was!  The rolling hills silhouetted against a sky aflame with pink and orange and the headlights of the oncoming vehicles were punctuation marks against the darkening sky.

All that beauty and, yet, when i sat down at the desk in the hotel room in Hays, Kansas....nada.  Colors didn't come together.  Beads weren't telling the story of the glorious views we had seen in the Heartland.

So i went to the beach instead.   No worries, mon.

Supplies:
(2) 25mm mother of pearl discs
(2) lengths of chain i had lying around with  little white drops already on it from a previous failed project
(12) 6mm Swarovski bicones to the rescue in ocean colors
(2) 10mm jump rings
(2) 4mm jump rings
(2) ear wires

To the left are the component pieces. And just fyi, i hung the chain on the inside curve of the disc.

 I don't wear round earrings like discs and hoops as my face shape looks better with longer earrings but i think i'd wear these!

Especially if i was on the beach in Jamaica sipping a cold one and watching the waves roll in.  Then i'd watch them roll away again.

 And i'd do that for 341 days while i made that many more earrings out of seashells and sand crabs.
