We're All Ears - March Reveal

The lovely creative gals over at Earrings Everyday are running a monthly earring design challenge focused on a specific piece of artwork each month and for March, this was the wonderful piece that was chosen to inspire us all ~

 

Beatrix Potter - The Tailor of Gloucester

 

Beatrix Potter's, The Tailor of Gloucester

 

Oh indeed!!  I know they mentioned it over on the blog the day they put up the challenge, but yes, as a child I too was drawn into many Beatrix Potter stories by her amazing artwork.

 

I believe she is the reason I am not afraid of mice and think they are beyond cute and believe that all animals in the forest have the coolest of little homes tucked away in a tree somewhere! 

 

Here's  my (late to the party today) post for the

"We're All Ears" March Reveal.

 

The minute I saw the picture, I could think of nothing else but pink ribbon and cord with some wood beads, rose quartz and of course, pearls.

 

 

 

 

I hope you'll take a moment to check out all the other participants from the "We're All Ears" monthly challenge and see their lovely pieces created with the inspiring artwork of  Beatrix Potter's, The Tailor of Gloucester's picture.

 

Until Next Time,

Peace, Love and Childhood Memories!

Cheers,

Earrings Everyday "We're All Ears" Inspiration Blog Hop

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!

 

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!

 

Please give all the other participants some love and see what they have created by clicking on over to the

Earrings Everyday Challenge and Other Inspiration

Hey there, I just wanted to give a shout out and let everyone know of the monthly challenge that's happening over on the Earrings Everyday Blog.

 

 

 

I love earrings and 'haunt' this site regularly, commenting (when time allows) on all the super cool, drool-worthy earrings and information they post daily.

 

And, they're doing a give-a-way, too!

Click here to go to the post and get all the juicy details!

 

I was trying to make time to create a pair of earrings for the monthly challenge and the link-up happening tomorrow - Friday, February 21st -  but with work and a few other things going on, it might not happening as I would like.  

 

  Please head over and join in the fun if you can find the time.

 

  At the very least, stop by to check out the blog and every one's link-up entries tomorrow.

 

I'm excited to see all the cool creations using the art inspiration they have provided!

 

I am packing up to head out to Jerome 

with my sister and some friends this weekend.

 

This little, old mining town is a wealth of cool inspiration - to say the absolute least!

 

Jerome, Arizona

 

 

With all its old doors, haunted hot spots, wicked landscape and amazing panoramic views, I'm hopeful that many of the artists shops that closed during the 'great recession' have re-opened because the talent and uber-cool vibe that fills this town is infectious and I'm completely ready to soak it up!
