We’re All Ears March Inspiration Challenge

The inspiration photos for the March Earrings Everyday challenge were macro photos of dragonflies and damselflies taken by Martin Amm, a German nature photographer. Here’s the photo that resonated most with me.






I had on hand some glass button beads in similar shades, and with a bubbly surface texture that imitated the dew on the dragonflies. Talk about a bonus!



I chose to use beading wire to make a circle shape and used 14Kt Gold Filled jump rings and ear wires.


Bubbles Earrings

The shape is imperfect, which I hope adds to the charm of the earrings.

    1. They are pretty neat and nestle together nicely when strung in a "normal" manner. :-)

      Thanks Tammy
