Copper leaf earrings by Zoraida of Patchogue, NY, via Making Jewelry Now |
Here's an example of one I originally came across who knows how long ago: some simple leaf earrings made out of copper sheet. It appeared in Rena Klingenberg's excellent e-newsletter, Making Jewelry Now. (That link is to her website; look on the page for how to sign up for her free e-newsletter.)
I wish I could link directly to the artist's site as well, but the link on the e-newsletter to Zoraida's site, Spiralbead, doesn't appear to get me there, and a blog search didn't turn up anything.
Please check out Rena's site--it has tons of good resources. I especially like her jewelry display ideas, featured on her companion website and featured in the e-newsletter.
(Don't know what I Might Make That! Monday is? Check out the archive of past features in the top righthand corner.)
Hi:
ReplyDeleteThe earrings look pretty.Remind me my 'old times',when I started my jewelry adventure:-)
It would be fine to make a similar pattern ,with the use of copperlike'Preciosa',or 'Delica'
seed beads,to make those leaves beaded:-)
I feel,I am lost for the beadweaving at all!:-)))
