I am happy to participate in the
Earrings Everyday blog hop this month. This month’s challenge is built around the
Pantone colour of the year, Ultra Violet. You can read all about it here

| Pantone Colour of the Year |
Purple is one of my favourite
colours. I was cleaning up my supply of storage tins lately and found the
perfect one for this challenge. To my eye it looks like a combination of Ultra
Violet and Hyacinth Violet from the Drama Queen colour harmony in the
inspiration post

| Tin Cover – Ready for Repurposing |
The combination of the purple
shades with the pale grey of the swirls, flowers and snowflakes, along with the
touches of green, red and black appealed to me. From the pieces of the tin
container I made these

Along with the pretty tin circles I
used freshwater pearls dyed peacock plus chain, jump rings and head pins with
an antiqued brass finish. The ear wires are sterling silver that I used gun
blue to add a patina to. They are available in my online shop
Come check out what everyone else made. Thanks for stopping by. Have a
great day
Its a great tin pattern that you have used. I would have never thought of using a tin disc with chains but its looks nice when paired up.
ReplyDeleteI love the tin that you found and use. The pattern is wonderful. Your earrings are very cute. The pearls really add to the design. Well done!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great use for storage tins! I love how you focused on the snowflake part of the pattern - these are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat tin was a great find for the challenge, it worked perfectly! I like the slight asymmetry of the pieces and the playful addition of the pearl and chain dangles!
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute! I need to get brave and cut into some of the tins that I've collected. I've been too chicken but you inspire me!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely pairing of components. Beautiful combination.
