We've reached day three.  My final guest design projects for Hambly.  I just want to thank Allison for inviting me to play.  I had a ton of fun!

My first real passion in the crafting world was jewelry making.  So I decided to play around with some Hambly transparencies and papers and see what I could come up with.  I made five sets of earrings:

Butterfly-Flower-sm

Not only are they super cute, but they're lightweight and so comfortable to wear that you hardly notice you're wearing earrings! (I accidentally slept in the third pair down.  Didn't realize I was still wearing them until I woke up.  Oooops!)

I've created a quick video tutorial so you can make some earrings for yourself!

I also made some rings.

What do you think?  Do you feel ready to create some wearable art?

P.S. I'm feeling pretty happy today.  I hadn't submitted anything for publication in months and months and sent out a few things last Thursday.  Got four layouts picked up by Somerset Memories and two by Scrapbook Trends for their new idea book.  A very good end to the week!

  • Happy Friday…congrats on the pubs Julie! I just love Somerset Memories. Those earrings and rings are fabulous. The light weight of earrings is key. I don’t know if Hambly has been marketed for jewelry but they will be pleased with these samples I’m sure.
