Beading Blog - thebroadroom.net: Green earrings
Green earrings

Dang. I just made some new green earrings today and I can't take a picture of them because I don't have the camera today.
These are the ones I was planning to make, with a slight twist. They use the same basic idea as the blue ones mentioned previously--you make three wrapped charms for each earring and attach them to a chain made of four jump rings.
Here I went a step further. For the blue earrings, I had used eye pins instead of head pins for the charms, and had added a tiny blue bead at the end of each charm.
For these green ones, I used 3 different kinds of green glass seed beads instead of one tiny bead. i.e. you string 3 different seed beads on a head pin and finish it off with a simple loop, and attach it to the bottom of each wrapped charm.
This looks really cool because the seed bead dangles move around and catch the light and look sparkly.
I also used a "pineapple" glass bead to attach the jump ring chain to the ear wire. These two pineapple beads were something I'd bought long ago without any particular plan...I usually buy at least two of each new bead (or another even number) either to make earrings with or else a symmetrical design.
