About this Product
I've been learning a lot about working with beads lately. I made these from a pattern in Beads Magazine. I changed the colors though, going for something darker. I could make these in other colors if someone wishes to order them.
They are on surgical steel hooks - I have allergies to other metals so this is all I use. These earrings are approximately 2 inches long.
I'm not very good at photographing jewelry yet, but I tried to show the true colors. The teardrop bead is a satin finish purply-gray color. The rest are black, silver or gray.

Meet the Maker
I've been making things since my mother gave me a needle and thread when I was 5 years old. Almost everyone in my family makes something - my mother paints and quilts, one brother paints, the other works in metal and draws, my father worked with metal and made knives and guns (from scratch!). And my eldest spawn got their BFA in Illustration. My son has decided to become a welder, so I guess the metalwork interest is genetic.
Nowadays I have more freedom to try new things, so you will see a wide variety of things in my shop. I've worked with fabric forever (40 years), and leather for about 28 years. I've always loved miniatures, but only recently began working on some fairy themed items and plants. I joined a lapidary club some years back, which fueled my interest in beading and wirework. I'm slowly dipping my toe into making dolls and accessories for them.
I grew up in Ohio, but I live in the Boston area with my spouse and teenager and my mother also lives with us - along with about 45 houseplants and 2 cats! (I'm thinking about making leather cat toys!)
