more Fragments

This week I'll be listing a few more pairs of earrings in my "Fragments" series to the Etsy shop.  These new pretties are slightly smaller than previous so much cuter :) 

The glass I've chosen for the pair shown here is a pretty transparent pale pink with a flash of opaque purple blending to a creamy white. 

The glass hangs from handmade, sterling silver earwires.

In the Studio


These pics were taken in my atelier Monday - I'm only getting a chance to post now because my internet was down since Monday afternoon.   All sorted now :)  for awhile ... my online shop is also 'down' at the minute because I made an update without properly saving my originals ...and lost all my settings.... I was / am so annoyed with myself I can't even start to look at it again for awhile lol.   It'll be back and it will be better :)  just not this week :S  anyways ...


Here is some 'work-in-progress'  I'm making this up as I go along which is sometimes the only way to work ...although it's slow :)   it's looking much better than this already lol


waste not, want not.  I keep my little pieces in drawers.


and the little slivers get brushed away after each cut.  the teeny tiny pieces are so pretty.  I used to save them in small glass jars but failed to find a use for them so now they get wrapped up in newspaper and thrown away.


decisons decisons :) 


and then I get v. easily distracted - the little leaves for the new piece are cute.  maybe I'll shuffle over to the beads and play.  These would make sweet earrings?
