I am currently on a bus waiting to get back from my jaunt into Pennsylvania. Don't you love those new fangled buses with wifi? Anyways, I have had a full day of travel, ending with the bus I'm on which was almost an hour late. I will be back soon thank goodness, but it was worth it. I had a great weekend!
The earrings I made today were actually created as we waited in a bus station in somewhere-or-other Pennsylvania. I'm sure the people around me thought it was strange as I whipped out wire and pliers but I didn't care.
I used red beads that I love but haven't used in a while along with these silver beads that have suffered a similar fate lately. The silver beads are a strange shape, they sort of remind me of a specific kind of leaf, the tiny yellow ones that are on the ground a lot in the spring. They're also a little reminiscent of flower petals.
I know they're simple, which has become a theme lately, but I find them really pretty. They're something you could wear on a fancier occasion than a lot of my other more fun pieces. The silver beads help give the earrings character, they're not just some run-of-the-mill pair you could find in any store. Not that there's anything wrong with store earrings but handmade trumps all! Maybe I'm biased...
Love and Beads,
Eve
