The Amazing Macro photos by Martin Amm
served as this months inspiration
for the Earrings Everyday challenge.
Focusing on the dragonfly's body, I put two of them
together to form these hoop earrings.
But I really wanted to make a pair that
had some of that iridescence.
These Dichroic Grace lampwork
beads did the trick for me.
The twisted bugle beads catch the light in a
similar way that the dew does.
I also wanted to do something to represent all
that dew on the dragonfly's eyes.
I went with these hammered links and bead caps that
I've been hoarding...
... along with these bumpy lampwork beads
by Patricia Venaleck.
Thanks Erin for another fantastic Challenge.
Feel free to check out what the other
participants were inspired to make.

I love them all, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE the final pair.
I especially love the pair with transparent buggle beads. They look like they have wings on them Well done!

Super fun earrings... I like that the first two really have the same shape/feel of the dragonfly bodies. The bumpy glass in the last pair is just what I had in my mind's eye, but not in my stash. :)
Such a great range of earrings from the inspiration. I was totally hoping for some bubbly beads in my stash but not much luck. Love the clever design of the first pair. Thanks for joining in the We're All Ears challenge! Enjoy the day! Erin
