EARRINGS: Candy Coated Birds of Paradise Earrings
These earrings, though I made them in Spring of '09, are being listed nearly a year later.
Why such a delay? Well, it's because I love them SO VERY much that I hate the thought of parting. But, I think it's time to let them go [as I stifle a sob].
The title really says it all: these birdies have long aqua dyed tail feathers, 'shark tooth' shaped blue freshwater pearls, freeform bundles of thin gauge red wire, amethyst chips, intricate seed bead work, with shots of teal, black, fuchsia, periwinkle, green-gold and yellow. I'm torn between thoughts of magnificent tropical birds and giant bins of colorful candy.
Gazing at them, I find myself wondering whether I want to cage them as pets or eat them for dessert.
