Use Your Leftovers Earring Challenge Reveal

Earrings Everyday is having their 3rd Annual 

Use Your Leftovers Earring Challenge 

It's been months since I have blogged about anything and thought this was a great time to start. I have been wanting to for a few weeks since I lost my job.

I guess I needed to regroup and think about my future and what I really wanted to do.

Anyhow the challenge starts out by taking a photo of you desk after a bead feast...

Here it is...

My desk is not normally this messy. Okay maybe it is, but I would like to think that I do get the chance to clean it when I can.  Even Dave my fish sits there waiting for his new tank to enjoy my creative process...

Next we are to get all the leftover in a container, tin or anything else that will hold the goodies.  I had my leftover pieces on a towel that I have been using as a bead cloth.  Everything else is full.  By this time I have still not cleaned anything and just picked through all the piles of gems.

I came out with 4 pairs of earrings.

I had some recycled glass laying around and thought I would just 

loosely hang them on the copper wire.

I love how these turned out.  I had some fire agate that I have been wanting to use and

paired them with the pearls. 

I added the abalone nuggets with the owl charms. 

It's funny because I forgot to add ear wires to these and did not

realize it until after I took the photos.

I am not one for birds. I don't know why. I love to bird watch and enjoy hearing them sing.  Hummingbirds are my absolute fav.  But on jewelry, I just am not into it. But my bestie does, so I made these for her.

And there you have it.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out what I made.  Check out the other fabulous earrings here

Have a wonderful day everyone.
