A chronicle of the meanderings, false starts (which in retrospect, while sort of embarrassing turned out to be highly instructive), epiphanies, selective apathy (still evolving), wild mood swings, opinions (subject to frequent change), and life lessons of an inveterate dabbler (and her latest dabblings).

Always Match Your Earrings to Your Blog Template

El Caribe
These two pair of earrings are variations on the pair I made my Mom for Mother's Day. I liked the design so much I repeated it, with slightly different beads. I just got a whole slug of little oval gemstones from Lima Beads (for earrings), and so far these Chinese Turquoise are my favorite. I would like to fill an entire tub with them and take a bath. THAT'S how much I love them. I would have tiny oval bruises all over my body ('cause I'd probably be in there a long time), but it would be worth it.

I used four of them in this pair, all slightly different:
Jade Isles
I should do some bead porn with my Lima haul. And my other many large recent hauls.
Stay tuned.

(The Fred Flintstone looking donut beads in green and blue are from Happy Mango Beads.)

    Yup, I can totally get where you're coming from with the bath of beads thing. And it would be far less bruising than a shower... Love the earrings, they are kinda stone-age steampunk looking.

      Jess, I totally thought "It's like FRED FLINTSTONE made those beads!!!!" They made me think of the wheels on his ride.

    I LOL'd when I saw your post title, because I actually just did this last week (unintentionally) - how can one help it, if your blog template is in your favorite colors (and why wouldn't it be?)

    Pretty earrings!

    I am in love with your colors. The earrings are "just right" for me.
    I looked at Lima Beads online but did not find the "Flintstone wheel" beads. Any idea on where to find this type of bead. They ae really unique.
