Something Blue!
I’m getting
married in June! I don’t think I’ve mentioned it on here before. I’ve been
trying to get the things mentioned above for the wedding. I’ve got something
new – the dress. Something borrowed - I’m getting married on my grandparents’
wedding anniversary and I’m going to borrow a ring my grandfather wore on their wedding day. I've even been given a six pence for my shoe by my lovely fiancée.
My cousin gave
me a set of champagne colored pearls for Christmas when I was 18, and I always
thought that would be my something old. I told her when she gave them to
me that I would wear them when I got married. But last month I bought my
wedding dress and guess what? It doesn’t match the jewelry. So now I have no
something old. I also have no jewelry! Fortunately
the neckline of my dress is jeweled so I really don’t need a necklace. I do
however need earrings!
I thought since
I’ve been making earrings for the past 8 months I should make my own. We saw a
broken chandelier available on a giveaway site but by time we saw it someone
had already claimed it, too bad it would have been perfect for making the
earrings. So I’ve been on the lookout for beautiful crystals and beads. The
other day we came across packets of blue beads for sale. I thought I’d try to
find some to match the wedding. After all our wedding color is blue, Celeste or
Sky Blue.
So yesterday I
sat down and made these three pairs. At first I thought maybe I’d make earrings
as part of the favors for our guests, but not all of our guests are women and
what would I make for the men (Yes, I know men wear earrings too but not dangly
ones like I make, this is after all the Dangling Journey).
All of the
beads in these earrings are glass. Some are frosted, some have a marbled effect
and one of the pairs has a faux pearl.

I also tried
something I’ve never done before. I made three “strands“ of beads to go on each earring. Each strand is different in color combinations, the types of beads in
that color and length.
I may make a
pair for my mother to wear once she gets her dress if it matches any of the
beads I found.

Since these
designs have taken more materials, more time and more effort they will be a
little more expensive than my usual offers. But they are after all worth it!
These are handmade earring made of glass beads and they are beautiful!
With all the
preparations for the wedding coming I may not get around to posting earrings
every week. But stay tuned! I still have some designs in the backlog waiting for
their time to shine. So if I get a moment I’ll post them. And of course after
the wedding I’ll post pics as well.
