Rabbits And Bunnies And Hares - Oh My!

Last week, Jenny introduced our Component of the Month for March.  We're changing things up a bit this year by offering 4 themed challenges, among our other monthly challenges. The theme this month is March Hares, (rabbits or bunnies too).

The challenge is to make something that the theme of hares or rabbits.. This can be an art bead, a component, or a finished piece of jewelry.  The reveal date will be March 31st.  If you would like to be included in the blog reveal at the end of the month, please email Jenny at jen.davies.reazor (at) gmail.com. Emails need to be received by March 29th  to be included.

Last week, Jenny shared rabbit and hare components that were designed by AJE team members. Today I'm going to help get your creative juices flowing by sharing some hare and rabbit themed art beads that are available from non-AJE members.  I'm  just going to let the pictures do the talking.  Links to the art beads are provided above each picture.

Between rabbit and hare items that Jenny shared and the ones that I've shared here, you should have a large selection to inspire your designs.  So get hopping!  I can hardly wait to see the reveal!

Earring Challenge Reveal - Week 23 & 24

I just got back from a beachside barbecue with a bunch of friends.  The couple who hosted the dinner have a place on the water that has the most phenomenal view! They made foil packets filled with fresh veggies and salmon that they placed on a grill over an open fire.  Mmmmmm, heavenly!   But we left the gathering by shortly after 8:00 pm so I could get this post written and get a good night's rest before a show I have tomorrow.  I'll leave you with this view from their property!

Mt. Rainier is not the only gorgeous photo that I am posting this evening, though.  Here are some of the stunning earrings that grabbed my attention these past two weeks.

These polymer clay stud earrings by Mon Urquhart are just amazing!

I was also quite taken by these earrings by Sumi. I really like how she wire wrapped the ends of her self-made balled wires together.  I creates a very graceful line.


I was also quite smitten with Linda Newnham's earrings (Earthshine Jewellery).  As she pointed out, her ribbed lampwork glass ovals look like bee hives when they are accented by the little Vintaj brass bees.


Now, if you are part of this quarter's earring challenge, please add your link below.  One lucky challenge participant will win the giveaway that I wrote about on Friday.

And, whether you are an earring challenge participant or simply an AJE blog reader, please click on the links below to enjoy seeing all the great earrings from the past two weeks.  The next earring reveal will be on July 7th.
