* Mix and Match EXPERIMENT

Playing with earrings.  I'm not a 'matchie poo poo' kind of girl, so with that in mind I have set out to make some mix and match Day of the Dead earrings.  You can have two the same, or you can have a different kind in each ear (which I personally think is FUN).

I have everything I need except the sterling ear wires.  I only had two pair - so have used them to experiment.  I just think it's worth it to use sterling ... so many allergies out there these days.  So here is my first attempt.  Not thrilled ... however, I'll keep going.  I'm using good material - Swarovski crystal, Tibetan silver, and glass pearls.  Even when I continue, I'm not sure any two will turn out the same.

I have never ventured into the realm of jewelry before.  Now I would like to experiment for awhile and see what I can come up with.  I wanted to do Day of the Dead, because I'm in Mexico.  Ideas seem to be expanding.  These are my first attempts.  Already there are necklaces floating in my head.  When something calls me .... I'd better get on my bicycle and peddle.  I never know where I might end up, and it's always fun getting there.  Let me know what you think, 'cause I'm not sure where I'm headed with this one.

When I finished those, even though I'm still waiting for the silver wires, these little birdies began singing to me.  They swivel and move.

I'll think about what to do to keep myself amused tomorrow.  (Shades of Miss Scarlet)
