I wanted to create earrings that were fun yet simple, as the scarf should remain the focal of my outfit. I pulled some of the most prominent colors from the scarf into my earrings using gemstones. I also found these fabulous little acrylic charms in my bead stash that worked perfectly.

this matchy matchy girl really loves your mismatchyness!
ReplyDeleteWhat? No pix! I want to see those shoulder dusters in action! They look great! Are they heavy?
ReplyDeleteNot heavy at all! They are light and swingy!
DeleteThose are really fun. And swingy looking. I agree we need action shots :-)
ReplyDeleteWow - what a great pair of earrings!! That scarf is gorgeous, too!!
ReplyDeleteThese are so fun!
ReplyDeleteLove the mismatched idea. The earrings look so fun.
ReplyDeleteLove yours! Makes me want to go redo mine!
ReplyDeleteGreat earrings. Now that I have tried this I know it requires quite bit of thought to pull it off!! You did it wonderfully.
ReplyDeleteThose are so cool, I really must try that more often!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are über cute, Diana. I would love to get over my fear of "mismatching"... that, along with other asymmetric design, I find challenging. Must come from a childhood when everything had to coordinate LOL.
ReplyDeleteMonique, did you join Diana's mismatched earring swap? You should have!
DeleteWhat a pretty scarf! And the earrings you made to go with it are perfect. What fun!
ReplyDeleteLove them!
ReplyDeleteOhhh, I love this idea of mismatched monday! Those earrings are darling!!!!
ReplyDeleteOk, I totally applaud you, but I would not be able to handle my earrings being different! I'm so goofy anyway, people would never notice that they were actually a pair. They'd just smile and say, "Bless her heart".
ReplyDeleteLovely! I'm really looking forward to the Mismatched Artbead Earring reveal on October 16th. (http://vintagebluestudio.typepad.com/vintage_blue_studio/2012/09/mismatched-art-bead-earring-swap-rules-sign-ups.html) Making mismatched earrings was way more difficult than I anticipated. Thanks for the creative nudge.
