NEW Feather Earrings for Spring 2012

Why, hello there,
FEATHER EARRINGS!
Have you been looking for new and beautiful things to adorn your ears? With out the generic look? Something more "you," which carries more meaning??
Well, perhaps....
1. These earrings are all lovingly handmade by me and my reimagining mind. 
2. The feathers come from a humane farm unless noted. Terra Cantata (http://www.etsy.com/shop/TerraCantata)
3. Leather pieces are recycled/upcycled scrap pieces.
4. Many of the beads have their own story and history, which I try to include but sometimes can't remember them all, which means I will have to remember soon when I write all the descriptions!! =]

ALL THESE WILL BE POSTED TO ETSY SOON! 
These were so fun, I got a leather hole-punch and some salvage pieces of leather and I have  been playing with my new toys as seen here!! I'm going to paint on them as well... we shall see!

I can also hole punch through some tough stuff!! I hole punched this display piece to better suit my needs! =] It was tough! Thanks Q.E.! =]
These are my personal favorites from this series, the dangle is elegant, the amethyst is gentle, and the feathers colors are so naturally perfect.

They just play in the sunlight!! 


Ok these are funky! I may have gone hole-punch crazy, but I love the end result. These are a stepped dangle with two levels of feathers, one dangling from the leather piece, and the one above. BEAUTIFUL. I love the color of the top feathers; I call the color clay-bath. =]


Fun shooting with my display, from Q.E. =] Thanks!! 


You can really see the leopard jasper here on the bottom, there, the orange and speckled stones. The glass work beads (from santa fe!!) are just glistening too.. Shells from Hawaii! So many little stories are nestled in each of my pieces.
These are ostrich feathers! The first in the series, they have super long elegant dangle pieces, on of garnet and the other  a metal filigree type bead. I love the balance you get from having long, long earrings and the light, airy feathers.

Here you can see the filigree beads details.

I like the look of these distressed beads, a loved & summery look.

This is my new display unit! Totally shabby chic! I found this stick while walking the dog and picked it up, examining its perfect shape, knowing exactly what it was for the moment I held it. It lives in an antique mason jar, which is attached to a wooden base. Better full shot to come. I added the giant key for fun. 

Last but certainly not least is this! THIS is a hair clip! The gold piece is, believe it or not,  a  button cover. A vintage button cover. "What?" Well! If you had a rather dull sweater with rather dull buttons, you could slip this ingenious cover (of course you would have multiple), over your buttons and vualá! Fancy buttons!! These were given to me by my grandmother, as was most of my jewelry. Some I keep for the love of it, some I share for the love of it! I can't help but keep on RE-IMAGINING.
