It has been a long-long break. Too long. I have been done some beading meanwhile, but not very much. And I haven´t got here to post anything for too long.
So I try to show now what I have done meanwhile.This time I will show flower earrings, which I have in too different variantions.
I started with these smaller beaded flower earrings with cat eye cabachon in the center. When I bought these small cabachons (I guess, they are 10 mm, max 12 mm in diameter, I´m not very sure anymore) I thought about flowers immediately, daisies.
The center is bead embroidered. I used different golden seed beads in size 10 and 11. Backside of the cabachon is covered with white ultra suede. These are post earrings and have surgical steel posts.
After finishing these earrings I started thinking about some kind a modification with shiny Swarovski Rivolis. And I had idea about white flowers with dark center - something black or gray or dark blue. I found lovely Rivolis in Black Diamond tone in two different sizes, 12 and 14 mm, that matched perfectly with my plan.
This time I used beadwoven bezel to surround the Rivolis. I used silver lined Toho seed beads in size 8/0. This time I wanted to make a bit more plentiful flowers, so I decided to make two layers of petals. Finally I connected two flowers and added sterling silver hook earwires.
When I started to make photos of these earrings I found that it was very tricky task. It was so hard to get good pictures. I like to photograph my jewelry on white backgound. But these white flowers dissapeared on white backgound. So I tried different colors. I am most satisfied with that dark grey one where those layers of petals are the ost visible, but Rivolis look a bit too light. They are actually a bit darker, more like on the upper photo.
These earrings turned out really luxury, perfect for summer wedding or for soe special occasion.
