A few days ago I did a post on my pile of inspirations, granted it looked more like a hodge podge of assorted beads and findings but each pile was its own little inspiring idea awaiting creation.
I have completed a couple of these piles of ideas and am posting my first one, as promised. These long dangle earrings are crafted from lead-safe copper wire and a mix of Czech glass beads and Swarovski crystals. Not too fussy, not too ornate...simple, swingy and super fun. Unfortunately these looked so good when I tried them on I decided to keep the first pair for myself and had to make another pair for my etsy shop.
Photo above...Combo of black and red Czech glass beads along with Swarovski Fire-Opal crystals are highlighted by the warm tones of my copper wire work. The earring hooks are also my own handmade and bead embellished hooks.
Photo below...Just a part of my head to show my earring being worn...I should have worn a lighter top...no I should have gotten someone else to model them for me !

Since it looks like Etsy is going to take its sweet time to instigate a protocol that will allow us to have multiple shops under one email address or to be able to change our shop/user names, I will seriously have to start thinking about getting a second email address and opening another shop for my jewelry. Not that my jewelry is flying off the shelves (oh how lovely that would be) I just don't like mixing my supplies with my finished pieces.
Aly of AlyGatr'sEverywhere I think you need to open an etsy banner shop as it looks like I may be needing another banner some time soon. : )
