2021 The Allure of BLUE


Whether it's handcut BLUE Vintage Wasser-glass Hearts
from Emily Cohen, Catfish Studio...


Or a Subtle Wash of BLUE Underglaze on Ceramic Clay...


Or Tumbled Daiquiri Freeze Glazed Stoneware Shards...



Or Deep Azure Blue Sea Glass Hangies...


Or Blue Celadon Porcelain Shards from Karen Sacks...


Or Ocean-mist Beach Glass Under Stacked Amber...

You'll LOVE the WEARING of the BLUE!

Make It Memorable! EARRINGS


Hand painted ceramic Spirit Hole discs dangle from
a copper wire swing under a hand cut Emily Cohen
cultured blue beach glass disc. The ceramic discs
are finished on both sides so you look good
both coming and going...


Hand cut Emily Cohen red glass hearts hover over
a pair of cultured freshwater pearls. They are accented
with copper discs and red crystal bicones...


Two faced ceramic beads - one looking forward the 
other looking back - so the wearer can stay safely 
in the present!


Royal Copenhagen porcelain shards tumbled over
100 hours to smooth the edges, accented with blue 
cultured sea glass elliptical drops...


Turquoise art glass hearts from Emily Cohen on a 
silver bail and accented with speckled Wasser glass
rectangles beneath...


Spirit holes in clay each with four bites out of their 
edges and painted on each side with colorful
patterns. The cultured sea glass daggers make their
own point!


Matte mushroom glass beads in aqua are clustered
over scroddled clay Spirit Holes playfully
dotted...


This time, the hand painted clay spirit holes are 
accented with cultured sea glass triangular rounds
making a statement all their own...

More Organic Wasser Shapes...


What is so interesting about these organic 
Wasser Glass shapes is how they look 
dangling from the ear...


Whether you are coming or going,
they intrigue the onlooker.


And can be worn with either side face forward
simply by inserting the ear wire into the ear
from the back instead of the front.


Which is why it is so much fun to show you
BOTH SIDES of each PAIR!


They can have subtle nuances...


Or only make an outright statement from one side...


Even with my ceramic clay accents, these Fun-2-Wear
Earrings are lightweight.


Hand fashioned copper swings allow the clay, cultured
seaglass and semi-precious to catch the eyes of
passers-by...


As you make your own personl Fashion Statement!


Each pair is individual and unique...


Notice the Bumble Bee Jasper and imagine it
pollinating your favorite bloom...


Bet you can't pick just one pair!

Tis the Season for Wasser Wearing

  
Just when I thought I'd never again see the magnificent 
array of Wasser glass patterned colors, a package
arrives from my dear friend Emily with some
breathtaking Wasser Glass shards...


All the more reason to plan to reverse your earrings
for wearing either way!


Semi-precious Jasper ovals are the perfect complement
to many of the speckled, colorful surfaces...


And seem to work as accents for either side.


New for me, this copper wire swing (with a twist) 
which holds an oval stone under the Wasser shapes...


And just when you thought it couldn't get better,
the other side astounds!


I call this pair Spotted Cat and you can see why; it
seems to be all set to jump through the cultured sea glass
black loops underneath...


Then the reverse of spotted cat with the missing 
spots...and missing cat, replaced by red & green
strokes against a black ground -
Oh what fun!

Fun Earrings for Winter Wearing


You can never go wrong with Wasser glass
and hand painted clay discs...


Wasser glass 'Swiss Cheese' style 
with Mykonos glazed clay coins and turquoise 
glass Marquise flats supporting it all.


Mykonos high glazed clay shapes, wired
together by weaving with an Earthenware
"Sputnik" hangie underneath.


Mint Jullep "Swiss Cheese" style Wasser glass
shapes suspended from a hand formed copper
hook & jump rings'''


Stoneware "button mold" beads which look woven
and topped with stacked wood discs and
Bonn Beads Picasso Czech trades.


Smoky Quartz chunks swing nicely from
clay button mold beads acc ented with lemon
yellow African trades and horn tubes.


Then back to double Wasser shapes under
a stoneware hand painted ring and copper...
