Earcuff!!!

Subject: Earcuff!!! Fri Apr 25, 2008 11:32 pm

Thinking about earcuffs for costuming, I finally pulled out some jewelry wire and plastic beads and tried to make one. I love how it turned out, and plan to make a few more tonight.

Let me know what you think!

Oh that's really sweet, I must say. If you're selling these in a couple week's time, I just might be interested Smile

Awesome.

These are so cheaply made (the beads are just plastic), so they're experimental. I plan to buy some really nice glass beads to make some more to sell. Smile

A couple more.

This one is silver plastic beads, and green faceted plastic beads:

This one is more of an ear wrap (it wraps around the top of the ear, then the side). It has clear and purple faceted plastic beads, and a metal moon and star charm:

Cute, cute, cute! I especially like the green one. I still think the silver's the best, just cause its all delicate-looking.

The first is my favourite too.

Some more I whipped up:

I like how the beads are on the cuff part on this one:

I'm going to make one similar to this again, but with beads on the cuff part:

This is an ear wrap. It wraps at the back of the ear:

This one is very elfin to me:

I love this. It's a mixture of an ear wrap and ear cuff:

I love the first one! That's a really cool idea Shauna.

I prefer the ones like the first one and the second one on that last post but the others are really sweet too.
