Making earrings has become one of my favorite activities! I made 3 more pairs, they aren't heavy but some are a little bigger than the last group I made and blogged about. When I was making bracelets I had thin copper and silver wire that I would wrap near the center charm. Well, I decided I wanted try some of that out on my earrings!
I love these earrings! I used the copper wire to string black beads on the front and twist up to the top.
It is a little bit harder to tell in these pictures but I used the silver wire to twist at the very bottom with a pink and purple bead and twist at the top above the single purple bead. The graphite colored diamond bead is the only bead that is not a swarovski crystal bead. The bead in the center of the diamond shape is actually a very, very light blue swarovski crystal.
These earrings are very simple but pretty, I love that design!
Not only have I been making new earrings, I have also been drawing and painting.
A long time ago, I had started a picture of just different colored bubbles with a brown background. I didn't mix any colors to create the color brown and I'm disappointed I didn't. This brown came out of a squeeze bottle ( I wanted to try it, live and learn). It was way too watery and thin. I have put multiple coats on and am still not done. It is starting to look a little better though.
Since there are so many layers and the paint is so watery, you can tell that the paint in this picture is still wet. I haven't finished painting the bubbles, but I found that I should've painted the entire background first. When I start mixing the orange, blue, and purple I need to touch up a few areas that have brown on them and fix some of the shapes. Some of them need to become more circular.
One of my friends has requested for me to paint another sunflower that is part orange and yellow and the background are two different shades of gray. I am going to make 3 sizes to put up on etsy. One will be an 8x10 and another will be a 5x7. Those two were already sketched out, the one I sketched out tonight is a little 4x4 canvas that will stand on a little wooden easel.
I will paint all 3 of these pictures at the same time because I mix the colors together. If I mix them on different days or sometimes at different times, I am not always guaranteed that the colors will be mixed exactly the same. Some of the shades and tones may be a little different.
The last project I am starting to work on, are dog drawings. Some of my friends would like me to paint their dogs. I'm so excited they asked me! I have never done this before so I want to try drawing them first with graphite and then I can practice painting a dog another time. This is only a rough sketch so far, there is no detail and no shading yet:
I started drawing this with a thicker graphite stick pencil, it glides on the page a lot easier and allows me to go over some lines without getting too dark and doesn't leave an imprint on the paper incase I need to erase. I wonder if the owner of this dog will recognize him or not haha!
This blog entry had many different topics but it was a multitasking night and I decided to share them all at once, since I did them all at once for the most part. I was literally bouncing from one thing to the next!
I will keep you updated with each of these projects :) Hope you've enjoyed!
