Day 365 - Jo leather


I made it to a year! That's 365 days of non-repeated earrings. This is an appropriate pair for today that I saved especially because they were a present from the woman who posed me the challenge in the first place. Thanks Jo! I had fun. Aaaaaaand

Day 364 - original ellies


I was super excited to realise I hadn't worn these yet coz they're one of my favourite pairs that I've had for ages.

Day 363 - gold flowers


These I'm sure must be R10 specials from Frozen Lemons or a middle-of-the-mall jewellery stand.

Day 362 - silver bangles


These, like those from Day 295 and Day 328 (and, now I think back, Day 121 as well), began life as bangles. But I don't wear bangles, as I've mentioned before. These are particularly fun because they're segmented so you can change the shape.

Day 361 - tigers eye Angels


I bought these from a sweet little shop in Kleinmond (run by a crazy lady who tried to convince me both of the existence of angels and of the healing, good feeling type qualities of bits of rock - to no avail needless to say) and simply had to turn them into earrings. And I wore them today to match my angel wings top. Marvelous.

Day 360 - pentagrams


Another set of pendants that work much better as earrings. I've always liked this shape but obviously, being an atheist, not for the Satan worshipping reason since it's hard to worship something that you believe doesn't exist.

Day 359 - dangly hands


I made these. Not sure what they were originally but they make rather a lovely pair of earrings. The hand and hamsa I had in my random stuff drawer from various other bits of jewellery and decoration so I figured these were the perfect place to reuse them.

Day 358 - minions


I finally watched the Minions movie over the weekend (well, most of it. I did fall asleep) so I wore these with my Minions t-shirt for Monday's pair. Pretty sure they were key rings that I found in Chinatown.

Day 357 - turtles and beads


This a rather cute pair that I wore to Kleinmond on Sunday where we went to watch my little sister play some rather lovely fun jazz in her new band Manouche.


Day 356 - time turners


A total geek out pair this one but I love Harry Potter so I had to have them. I wore them for the closing night of my show, which was, as always, a bittersweet affair. I am so going to miss seeing these people every day!

Day 355 - green and white bait


Like my salamanders from Day 299, these I bought at a bait shop, baited (ha ha) by a crazy friend.

Day 354 - silver cats


A pair from the supplementary collection. I lectured when I wore them though because apparently I wore them the wrong way round.

Whatever, I am amazing. As the latest review of my show would attest:

Day 353 - tinkly squares


I like these for a number of reasons - square, simple, tinkly. All kinds of win really.

Day 352 - green and white beads


These are from the supplementary collection and not colours I would usually wear. I do like them though.

A rather amusing confusion happened today. What's On in Cape Town very kindly decided to feature our event on their Facebook page but they got a couple of the details wrong. Like who was actually performing.


What's also quite amusing is the fact that they mentioned the Othello rap, which is the only major section that we have completely rewritten. Yup, there is no way I'm rapping. Nobody wants to see that. Want to see how we did it instead? Get to the Masque!

Day 351 - silver and lace leaves


These are pretty but they do tend to get a bit heavy after wearing them all day. My sister bought these at a Black Friday sale, the same as the one I mentioned on Day 268.

Day 350 - small gold chandeliers


These are like mini-me versions of the pair from Day 95. So I think they must have been a present from someone because I don't think I would but some that are so similar to another pair. But then again, you never can tell.

Day 349 - giant dream catchers


As I said a couple of days ago, I got these in Chinatown. They're quite marvellous as earrings go and got lots of comments.
