It's time to see what everyone created for the
Earrings Everyday monthly challenge.
I didn't think I was going to make it for this one since I was a bit late to the game (so to speak) because of playing catch up this week and all kinds of other stuff that was going on with work (day job).
But I did manage to finally get some earrings created and photographed and I'm glad because not being able to create almost daily anymore has left me a bit cranky and unhappy - just ask my hubby and son about that one!
The Earrings Everyday blog is hosting a monthly earring challenge and this month the inspiration was this colorful photo below.

Beautiful, Funky Bug "Love"!
LOL!
LOL!
So, here's the earrings I created.
The faceted, rutilated quartz slices reminded me of the gorgeous and ever so delicate wings of these cute little 'love bugs'.
I made the earrings 'move' by knotting the cord between the beads so as to mimic what I thought would be their graceful movement.
The pretty, bright blue Sleeping Beauty turquoise, cheery salmon colored glass beads and the faceted pearls are all the colors, shapes and textures that jumped out at me from this photo.
I had fun using this photo as the inspirational jumping point for these earrings.
Thanks to everyone over at the Earrings Everyday Blog for their daily inspiration. I look forward to next month's challenge and hope I'm able to jump in and participate again!

The ethereal nature of the wings, the articulated bodies, the colors. Wonderful! This new monthly challenge will be fun, and you can join in anytime! Join us next month! Thank you for joining in the Earrings Everyday We're All Ears Challenge! Enjoy the day. Erin
