These were my selections for the
Winter Enchantment Artbead Blog Partners Challenge. We were asked to choose beads with a Winter theme. I love Swarovski crystals for their sparkle (like the glittery snow). I chose a lovely selection of
Swarovski crystals, tiny 1.5mm seed bead cubes in 2 colors and Tila double holed seed beads in 2 colors. Trust me this challenge was DEFINITELY a challenge. I restarted the project FIVE times before I ended up with these~
I used sterling silver wire and twisted it starting with the wire in the hearts and added the
Xilion pendants (look like tiny rivolis with a single hole in the top) in violet and aquamarine as I went up the stem. I looped the wire for the earring hook and added more pendants as I wound my wire back to the top of the heart. There on the last pendant, I curled the wire instead of cutting it off.
Even with all the issues I had with my designs not working, I love the way the earrings turned out!
Disclosure...As a reviewer of products at Artbeads.com, I received the Swarovski crystals, Tila seed beads, and tiny cube seed beads free of charge. I have been asked to review these products and give my honest opinion of the products...positive or negative. I am not being compensated by Artbeads.com for my endorsement as it pertains to the products received and reviewed.
