About this Product
These earrings have two gorgeous beads that are hard to describe. The largest is a teardrop shape that is salmon-colored on the flat side with mottled butterscotch and brown on the edges. The drop looks dark, but has a unique purple design. I've added my favorite bead, which is a fire-polished color lined bead. Look closely--they're slightly (deliberately) mismatched with the addition of a single small seed bead.
Earrings can add color, style, charm, and often some whimsy to an ordinary day, particularly if they don’t match each other. Notice that is often the case in my earrings—2 that are similar, but have beads that are not identical. I also make the more traditional matching set.
You deserve a treat, particularly one that won’t cause added weight gain.
I love glass Czech beads and use them often in creating my colorful jewelry.
Many of my beads have been carefully selected by color, shape, and uniqueness directly from the makers. Let’s support centuries-old Czech bead families to keep this important industry alive. I use hypoallergenic ear wires and in some cases, can change them for sterling silver for a small added fee. Message me if you have a question about this. I can also exchange some, not all, for non-pierced earring findings, with no added fee.
Patt711
Meet the Maker
My name is Patt, spelled with 2 t's because I like to stand out from the many Patricias and Pats in this world.
Creating new, colorful art suits my multi-tasking lifestyle.
Born in San Francisco and raised on the Peninsula, I found knitting, then weaving as "indoor sports" after moving and experiencing summer’s heavy coastal fog.
Vivid colors and textures drive my work. I consider myself eclectic — I weave, knit & felt, dye, and design and create jewelry. My passion is blending colors and textures into jewelry and textile designs while not following rules and doing the expected. I strive for wearable art pieces - my works are one of a kind. I create unusual pieces and prefer being ahead of the crowd rather than part of it.
My work sells in stores and at craft shows 4 to 5 times a year. I love the in-person selling, but like many artists, the pandemic forced me online, which has been a bonus because now I have new customers from all over the country. I started online as Patt711 on Etsy, and success encouraged me to add GoImagine.com with its new give-back concept. I have also ice-dyed textiles for an LA-based fashion designer.
If you live in or visit the SF Bay Area around Thanksgiving, I also participate in Open Studios in November and that information can be found on our website: www.colonyofcoastsideartists.com
I hope you enjoy my art as much as I do creating it.
Shop Policies
Processing Time: My goal is to ship within 24-48 hours after purchase is complete during a regular business week; however, my dye studio is several hours from my home shop, so if I am there, my shipping time is longer. Please message me if you need something within a specific time.
If something is commissioned and special ordered, I will give the buyer an estimated time for shipping.
Return Policy: Contact me within 7 days of delivery
Ship items back within 21 days of delivery
I don't accept exchanges or cancellations (unless I haven't yet shipped), but please contact me if you have any problems with your order.
Conditions of return: Buyers are responsible for return shipping costs. If the item is not returned in its original condition, the buyer is responsible for any loss in value.
FAQ's:
Do I custom dye? Yes, I will gladly dye something for you. Because ice dyeing is very random and unpredictable, I cannot guarantee the outcome but I have many delighted customers.
