Day 202 - purple drops

I made these, again from stuff I found at a craft shop. I stuck with the idea of simplicity (well, and purple, of course) and I think the result is rather pleasing.

Day 201 - bigger silver loops

It occurred to me today while thinking of what to say about these that they are basically the big brother of my silver loops from Day 165. Pretty much the same basic shape but these are wider, rather than longer. I notice now that they're also shinier, since they're newer. I should attack some of my older earrings with some polish at some point, I guess.

Day 200 - necklace clasp beads

This pair I made myself from a necklace clasp and some beads. I think they look better as earrings, but maybe I'm biased since I don't wear necklaces. Either way, as earrings I think they turned out pretty well. They certainly worked beautifully as my 200th pair. And to celebrate I took a helicopter ride around the Franschhoek valley:

Day 199 - Austrian feathers

My sister bought these for me in Austria. When she bought them she sent me a message telling me she'd bought me the coolest earrings ever. "Totally the bestest earrings you will ever own" were her exact words. She is not far wrong. They're awesome. And I think I shall use the long one as a counterpoint to any orphan earrings I find.

Day 198 - Chinatown hearts

Chinatown ... check. Tinkly ... check. Light enough to not try to dent me in the Southeaster ... check. Need I say more?

Day 197 - silver droplets

I keep looking at these on my earring holder and wanting to wear them but every time I think to myself "No, you've worn those already" so I pass them over. But a thorough scour of my blog after rehearsal on Tuesday revealed that I have not! I think I confused them with my silver berries.

Day 196 - greenish circles

I don't know where these are from but it's clear from the faded colour that they've been around a while. In fact, the colour and pattern remind me of the tent in A Knight's Tale that Mark Addy eventually is forced to turn into a tunic for Heath Ledger:

 

Gosh, I do love that film.
