Rusty Orange ~ 52 Earrings: week 18

*** See the previous post for my One Crayon Color Challenge creations ***

I still had orange from the One Crayon Color Challenge on my mind when I designed these new earrings. I wanted something that coordinated with the bracelets, but wasn't too match-y. I started by making a pair of polymer beads using the same rusty orange I had used to make the pony bead. I gave them both a black patina with gold accents and combined them with carnelian, amber "sea glass", and antique brass. And just for fun, I added a hemp tassel. I'm putting tassels on all kinds of things these days! I think I've been bitten by the tassel bug! :-)

And here's how it all looks together! This set is SO me!

Check out the Flickr pool here to see what everyone else mixed up for week eighteen.

See you next week with another pair!
