A Tray Full of Spring

It was nothing but sunshine and a Spring palette of inspiration on my bead tray this week to create another group of earrings for the 100 pairs in 100 days challenge.

Here in Atlanta we can usually count on mild winters, a heartbeat of spring, and then full-on summer, which hit us this week, with gorgeous blue skies and morning temperatures reaching into the '80's. Those blue skies inspired my first two pair of earrings which incorporate focal components by Marsha Neal (top) and Kimberly Branch (bottom), along with waxed linen for a Spring-perfect look!

 
 
The rest of this week's designs give a shout out to the slowly emerging flowerbeds and foliage of Spring.

  1. Beautiful ear adornments Karin. I love all the dangles and the beautiful lamp work, clay, stone, and metal beads you used to create these happy spring time earrings.

  2. Your earrings are lovely. Spring has been slow to start here which is unusual. I would love a weeks worth of sunshine instead of the gloomy skies.

  3. These are beautiful Karin! That first pair is gorgeous in its shapes and colors and textures. But so is the second and the brown pair at the bottom, and all the ones in between! I need to get some of that waxed linen. It gives a great look to jewelry.

  7. I'm in a full-on springtime swoon over these! We may be channeling on the same waves these days -- I spent a while this afternoon working with beads and fiber as well. It's not something I do too often, but it is fun!
