                                                             ENRA Torque Starter

This September's We're All Ears inspiration is based on geometric shapes that are found in this video of of an ENRA dance troop performance.


ENRA’ is a visual dance performance troupe from Japan performing stunningly unique animation-based digital performances. The images used in the performances are not attuned to the dancers, but interactively staged in a way never imagined before. The members of ENRA are experts in genres including martial arts, gymnastics, ballet, animation, dance, juggling and street dance.

Torque Starter' is a feast for the mind. Using stunning visual effects combined with the perfectly timed movement of a lone performer who is juggling a lighted ball, 'Torque Starter' is filled with a frenetic energy and a host of geometrical shapes and images.

Blue geometric ceramic earrings by Bay Moon Design

Even though we were not given a color to rely on this month, I worked with color in my design.  I used the color to provide a means to create a mini mirror of the reverse of the colors in the cylindrical shape of the ceramic bead that I selected as the center piece of the design. The blue striped lampwork glass beads that I used are from Big Bead Little Beads in Hitchin, Hertfordshire. UK. Both of the beads have 3 stripes of color and I used those 3 colors on the top of the design.  All of the beads on the top are round and are stacked to show 2 shapes from the performance a circle and another cylinder.  So now the geometric design of each earring has 2 cylinders and a circle.  These long royal blue striped lampwork barrel earrings have handmade sterling silver ear wires made by me.  They are available for purchase HERE.
