Making Double

There's something about making earrings that drive me nuts and after making a bracelet in my studio the other day, I figured out why. With earrings, you make one and then you have to make another one exactly like it. Usually I give my jewelry names. I have a set of  three different styles of bracelet  named Victoria, Darcy, and Edith.

The original ladies

 When it came to making earrings for the first time in my studio I was so excited! Though, when I was done I couldn't come up with a name for any of them. It's like giving twins the same name and I just can't do that. I'm sure i'll figure something out. In the meantime I'm going to incorporate the burned fabric into some earrings. Fire has a personality all of it's own and this way each earring will be similar but not exactly the same.

Above is the new Darcy (with a little change). I decided not to have embroidery around each circle as that was too distracting and I really wanted the gradient from burning the fabric to really stand out.
