Time for another Artbeads.com blogging project! I just love my royal purple tissue paper wrapped packages. I was really excited to get it this time as it was a slightly different project than usual for me. I love the vintage look of brass and I use it at times in my work as findings for earrings and necklace and bracelet fasteners. I haven't used it so often as a focal point. The brass findings I used, the bird and the ring, in the necklace were so easy to put together. I just love the result and it was so easy even a complete novice could put together a quick set to wear in one sitting!
In addition, I made a pair of earrings to match. I often don't like things that perfectly match for findings. I like a coordinated look, so I don't have the same thing plastered on my neck, ears, and wrist. I love that the filigree findings had spaces large enough to hook the glass lentil beads to the back so it could shine a little color through! Aqua and brown is one of my very favorite color combos, as well as giving the vintage brass a little update and color.
Aside from the Artbeads project....don't you love my little vintage-ish looking bird? I found her on clearance and she was begging to come home with me. As you can see, she loves to be draped in pretty baubles!
