Hanging from a brown box in front of a silver-grey woven background, a pair of beaded earrings. They are a pair of round denim blue crystals surrounded by gold-colored seed beads and tiny clear crystal bicone beads. A cobalt blue pear-shaped bead hangs from the bottom of each earring, with gold beads and darker denim bicone beads on either side.

Hanging from the same box in front of the same background, two earrings. They are hanging from bronze-colored ear wires and consist of three identical dangles each; the dangles are five bicone crystals spaced by gold-colored seed beads, starting with a dark red bicone at the top and progressing through reds and oranges to a crystal metallic yellow color at the bottom.

The same box and background, and also bronze-colored ear wires, but these earrings are silver in color. The flattened silver wire makes a few rounded zigzags before turning into an open spiral near the bottom. Two small labradorite beads and one smaller pale blue crystal round bead hang from the bottom of each spiral.

My mother asked me the other day to send her pictures of whatever I was working on in the earring department, as she was interested in possibly getting a pair as a gift for a women she works with. I sent her the pictures of my existing earrings- mostly that's sea glass wraps- and then these. No clue if she's looking for crystal stuff, stone stuff, or sea glass stuff, so she gets a choice, and everything else goes to the trunk sale.

I plan to hold off on telling her that one of the blue earrings fell into the back of the recliner while I was working on the other one, necessitating about half an hour of searching because I couldn't take the recliner apart to find the damn thing and had to snake my arm blindly through every possible curb in that chair without mangling myself or the furniture. I eventually found it all the way at the back and bottom, where it had drifted to a spot between the upholstering fabric and the lowest possible piece of actual chair. I'm going to see if I can get somebody to autoclave that pair, but if that's not safe for the materials involved, there'll be a hell of a lot of peroxide used to ensure they're clean and safe.

If you do autoclave the blue pair, and your mother doesn't claim it first, I would love to purchase it from you.

Dang, Cam, you're getting good at this.
