"Fourth" Bling
Since I decided for the first time to decorate for the Fourth, I thought hmmm.....maybe I should decorate myself too. My wardrobe staples are black, white, grey, neutrals...boring I know but then everything goes! But I did buy one of "Old Navy's" patriotic tees ( they had BLACK woo hoo!) so to get in the spirit, I made some earrings and a bracelet to wear with. I started making jewelry because I have to wear clip earrings (long story...nothing against pierced ears but apparently there's "stuff" in your ear lobes that supports pierced ears and I don't have it) . And...I like "bold" earrings. Put those two together and they're hard to find because someone has decided that anyone who wears clip earrings wears very dainty small ones. I'd like to have a word with you. I started out buying two pairs of earrings and combining them and then decided if I was going to do that, I might as well go all in. So now that I've put you to sleep with how I began making jewelry...

Hi, Carol! These are really pretty - I love the subtle montana blue you used, it's so much more chic than bright blue. (I mean for jewelry - nothing wrong with bright blue for 4th o July crafts!) I can't wear pierced earrings, either, but not for the same reason. It's because I am a BIG CHICKEN and too scared to get hole-punched! So I started making jewelry for the same reason. Thanks for sharing these pretties and all the great ideas!
Beautiful! and so patriotic, I love them!
im all about the red white and blue! love them and im sorry about your ears! in my family, no one got their ears peirced (im 3rd generation italian) because they didnt want to be 'ethnetic' and from 'the old country'. isnt that silly?
Once again I'll say it ~ LoVe it!
I really like your jewelry! thanks for finding me, so I could find you!
liz :o)
You know stories like yours don't bore me at all. I find them interesting. Great jewelry.
