Change a bead..
whaddya think? one of these little partial mannequins?
ahhh...the shower felt good!
I've posted the new silver earrings and some info about the new 'change a bead' premise for them...go see...
Just to clarify - I'm not bummed that my earrings haven't sold...in fact I hadn't really planned to sell them at all, but when I post pics of stuff w/out a price, I tend to get a lot of emails asking if they are for sale and how much...so I just posted the prices this time - but the fact that ya'll haven't bought them doesn't bother me..I rather like the earrings and look forward to wearing them myself..I know most of ya'll are designers and can make these yourself - and I'm not trying to 'play in your space' so to speak...I'm having fun showing you what i've been making in my classes...that's all..
The stuff I made last night, tho, ARE beads and they will work in conjunction with a silversmithing earring that I'm working on ..I have a 'base' model to show, and I have a little more engineering to do before the beads will work with it, but it IS coming along and that's good...I wasn't sure the beads would fit, so I had to make some last night and this morning they turned out perfect...I'll get those posted for ya in a bit, I need to go get a shower, I'm funky...
So I watched Lady tear across the yard and chase Amelie as fast as she could...something bad is brewing there, i know it...Amelie has hit Lady on the bridge of the nose on two separate times (that I know of) and drawn pools of blood...Lady is not happy with her...the trouble is, Lady was removed from her previous house due to a conflict with a resident dog, and I hope this is not a bad omen of things to come...Amelie flew under my car and I yelled at Lady to pull her off, but didn't swat her...i just let her know she wasn't supposed to do that...she's outside with her frisbee, the cats are inside and I'm wondering where it'll all lead...

I love the earrings you posted yesterday, it's just hard to get a sense of scale with out a live model (hint, hint). :) The "orphan bead posts" for pendants are seriously cool, as are the new earring ideas you have. You're onto something here....

Love the new changeable earrings too! How about a ball of silver at the end. That would be a nice look.

I am REALLY enjoying the feedback and ideas you're offering for these Icicle earrings...! and I hear ya about needing to see an example of what they look like on a 'real' person, so I'll see how I can arrange that..I know I can find a partial head mannequin at the local store fixture place down the road...I don't think I can snap an example on my own head, its not quite like taking pics of my fingers..ha...

Okay, I'll say it - those partial mannequins are creepy!!!! Ewwww! Maybe you could just have Amelie model them for you instead??
