Copper & lampwork Earrings by Meridy Migchelbrink

Copper & lampwork Earrings by Meridy Migchelbrink. They are cool but I never wore them. Here is Meridy's description of the earrings: Demeter: These unique, beautiful tribal earrings have an ancient, feminine atmosphere and pack a lot of beauty into their compact size (just a shade under 2-1/2 inches in length). To make them, I used turquoise waxed linen cording to wrap and knot together artisan tribal lampwork glass beads, beautifully textured artisan copper points, pale blue Czech glass disks, beaded copper beads, and rich mustard yellow matte seed beads. As a final touch, I added a double layer of tiny matching seed beads around the cording at the top of the copper points, leaving a bit of delicate fringe. The result is a one-of-a-kind pair of earrings that are wonderfully tribal and earthy, with the energy of ancient sun-kissed days. They hang beautifully from hypoallergenic copper-colored anodized niobium ear wires. SIZE: The earrings are just a bit under 2-1/2 inches long from top to bottom. The textured copper charms are approximately 35 mm high x 20 mm at their widest point. Their torched patina has been sealed with lacquer to protect the finish. To secure and cover the cording, I added backings to the earrings made of light blue paper, treated and glazed. The copper points are by Kristi Bowman-Gruel. The lampwork glass beads are by Magdalena Ruiz.
