Browsing the sale rack at Michaels, I came across these HUGE glass pearls and instantly remembered Lisa Crone's post over on her A Bead A Day blog about her find of huge glass pearls at JoAnns. I've never done anything with a bead this big at all before, and thought I should be daring and try something out! Afterall, how can we create something new and exciting without pushing ourselves into the uncomfortable?Driving over to my bead store as soon as I made this purchase, I found big silver hammered rings and I could clearly see the design in my head.
I think I would wear these with my hair up, just to make sure everyone could see them. I love the delicate filigree beads against the boldness of the pearls. And the colors just make me giggle.Maybe I should have tried another design with the other pair of earrings... oh well. I still have four pearls left to play with! Yay!!!
Gorgeous! I would wear those in a heartbeat!
ReplyDeletedo those come in various sizes? It would be neat to see a traditional pearl neclace in blue pearls. the ones you used to make the earings are kind of big for that except maybe as an anchor or focal point.
