More cheers

This pair has a blue fabric center, brass medallion and crystal on a Belles beer cap. Modeled by Kara.

Cheers for your ears

I stole this design from a vendor at the Tulip Festival this Spring. They are made from Coors Lite bottle caps--the logo is on the back side of the earring. I built on the design by filling the center of the cap with a black and white fabric, adding a medallion and a crystal and finishing them with a tiny peace sign charm. They are modeled by my lovely daughter-in-law. I am selling earrings like these for $20 a pair.

new jewelry design

After too many tries to find the right shot on these earrings, I've decided this one is okay and there are other things to do on this lovely Saturday morning. I've been experimenting with using fabric in earring designs. A good friend, who is a quilter, supplied the fabric and here are my first two attempts. I'm really having fun using different fabrics to see what jewelry components they suggest. The earrings are super light, and despite the print on the fabric, they tend to go with lots of things.
