I could not finish a pair of earrings for yesterday's blog. I tried two different designs. I had a glass of wine at hand to release the muse. I was MOtivated! But no worries. I took the night off. And i'm off the hook again because today's earrings were made by Melissa. From glass and wire. From scratch.
Melissa is a talented bead artist who works in several media. We've always looked to her for her expertise in beadweaving and her strong technical skills. Recently Melissa has ventured into metalwork and is creating beautiful cold-joined jewelry. Her metalwork classes at the shop are very popular. And very affordable, i might add. Get more info here about classes.
Melissa is also a lampwork artist and she made the headpins used in today's earrings. Very cool. And by the way, Melissa's glass beads are available at...the shop. How convenient!
(6) glass topped 5inch copper headpins
(2) ear wires
Th-th-that's all, folks.
Make wrapped loops incorporating a fancy wire technique and connect them as you go. Pretty! And swingy! That's a good thing!Thanks, Melissa!
Until next time, y'all...bead happy!
