I really had fun with these. I think they are super simple and cute. Since they aren't a three-dimensional design, they are even lighter than most of my earrings! (Which are never all that heavy anyway.) I loved making this design so much that I actually made a series of four of them.
This was the only one of the series that uses a color other than purple and gold! I wanted to try to make at least one feel neutral, usually black is a great way to add a note of neutrality to a piece, and the jasper beads themselves have some black matrix in them so I thought it would tie in really well. I don't dislike it by any stretch but I just don't think it can beat number 3.
Believe it or not I actually made these using peyote stitch instead of brick. Normally flat designs are brick stitch so it was really exciting for me to be able to find one that was made with peyote since I do prefer it! I also thought that the dyed jasper purple beads fit really well with the many purples I have so I was able to make each of the four in the series feel really different and really coherent!
So, after seeing all four which one was your favorite?
