I've been smitten by the shape goddess.... again.

I started out working in transparent glass - but realize that they make for dressier earrings... and with summer on the horizon (oh, if you sneeze, you miss springtime here in TX)... yes. so....
I started looking at the opaque colors - They say so much on their own... and with a small wrap of silver - get a little dressier...

With an OCD wrap of 28ga fine silver - that's tacked down in the torch, they become sleek and elegant.... plus the streaky glass color adds visual interest... but the shape remains constant. So - we have shape, color, and elegance...

...then I migrated back over to - how 'bout scrollwork to make them fun? leave the kitten-whisker stringers slightly raised to add visual interest... adding just enough - but not too much... to skirt visual fatigue....

... then living in Austin Texas = LONGHORN country - let's make the color relevant!!

... and add a pendant option... I'm in heaven. : ) smiles - Jill
