Earring Blog Hop

I finally got up the nerve to join my first blog hop. It was for earrings, you are paired up with partners and make each other a unique pair of earrings based on what they say is their type.

My partner is Mischelle Fanucchi and this is what she has to say...

I like beachy type themes, sea glass, amethyst, turquoise.  I do love bright colors. boho type, I do like all types of metals and do not have any allergies to anything.


So with all this in mind, I made these earrings for her......


I used silver plated wire, some green sea glass, green agate beads, a copper toned sparkly bead and wrapped some seed beads around it all. I hope she liked them. 


In return I was a lucky duck and recieved three pairs and it was my choice as to which were the main pair for the hop.



I love them all and it was very hard to choose which ones were my favorite. I have been wearing them all, but I do believe that my favorite is the middle pair with garnets. I love garnets. I love how dark red ( like blood ) they are and they are my birthstone!

I had a good time with the blog hop and I made a great friend at the same time. Maybe one day I can do a different hop and really challenge myself. Lol not too soon though!

Thanks all for looking!

  2. Your earrings you received are all great. Such depth to the garnet ones. Great that you got 3 pairs to change out. And I love the earrings you sent her. How great is that wrapping you did with the seed beads around the other beads. Very cool.

  9. Yes, a very different "twist" to wrap your beads with the seed beads. You have a nice selection of earrings to wear...lucky you! I'm sure I would have chosen the blue ones (of course). Swaps are fun, I do hope you join more in the future.
