Hi! I am excited to share some updates on my Etsy shop and the earrings which I have been making lately.

First the shop: I have renamed my shop Emma’s Handcrafted, updated my about page, and restocked it, with…

The earrings I have been making!

I was inspired by a pair of silver earrings Aunt Suzy gave me which were made out of little dangling silver balls. I thought, “I could make something like these! But I want to add a little more color and texture.” This is the first pair I made:

I liked (and like) them, but again I thought, “Hmm, maybe some more changes. What about a pair made with less different colors?”
So I made this pair! I liked them even more, and I think this just might still be my favorite design.
After that, I really went to town. I made, not in order of completion,
Autumn earrings,
Candy cane earrings (elegant or whimsical – you choose)
Purple and gold earrings (these have nice rich winey colors),
A variant on the first pair you saw earlier,
Some earrings in which I paired greens with some mixed metals (a recent completion, actually, made on the trip to Monterey),
Christmas earrings,
Red, white, and blue patriotic earrings,
An elegant pair of silver, white, crystal, and pearl earrings,
And a longer pair of earrings made in wintry blues, pearls, and crystals.
Coming up next: a Valentines pair of earrings I’m making for myself, and a tutorial for making these earrings.
