| February's Earring Inspiration |
A new challenge is underway. On the first Friday of every month, the blog "Earrings everyday" will share an inspiration. It can be a photo, a painting, a textile, a place, a person or a song.
Or maybe it will be a poem, a movie, interior decorating, or
architecture.
Then designers are invited to dip into our stash and create some earrings based on the inspiration and write a blog post about it. Designers can chose what to be inspired by - the colors, theme, subject,
mood, etc.
We all meet up on the 3rd Friday of the month, with a blog hop using InLinkz.

| Green Leaf Earrings are available in BayMoonDesign Etsy Shop |
These green leaf earrings are inspired by the colors in the photo. I made them from natural brass sheets that I embossed with a leaf pattern. I then hand painted these unique earrings with blue and green patinas to mirror those shades in the photo. I combined the blue green with orange colored goldstone chips to give these earrings an earthy look and bring that color in from the photo. The photo and the earrings both remind me of spring which can't be far behind.
I also have a challenge going on also--Patina Blog Hop on Feb. 28. Ten designers will be showing what they created with the same piece of metal and unlimited patina choices for it. Please stop by and see what see what everyone came up with.
Lovely earrings. I really like the embossed leaf brass components.

ReplyDeleteyour brass charms are lovely. I wonder what type of patina method you use for brass . I use LOS on silver but i haven't worked much with brass. It seems I've been missing out on a good thing.
