Hoops!

I'm so glad to see that hoop earrings are showing up on everyone's 2014 style lists, because I've been making lots of them in Deryn Mentock's Boho Bliss eCourse. Here are a few of my favorites.


Blue London topaz, firepolish and pearls
 
The palest green amethyst faceted rounds with blue and green kyanite rondelles
 
Three-sided ovals with crystals
 
Peridot rondelles and 6/0 three-cut seed beads

Deryn's course has me tackling lots of new techniques! Torch work no longer terrifies me, and a Dremel can be found center stage on my bead table these days. So much fun and much still to learn! But the combustibles and the power tools are going to be tucked away for the next few weeks while I return to needle and Fireline. I have a few challenge pieces to prepare.

If you'd like to join in the fun, Boho Bliss is open for registration until November 3rd.

  1. These are beautiful, Karin~all of them! But those first two pair are so interesting with how the stones hang. Just gorgeous! Cannot wait to see more of these once the challenges are done ;-)
