Dewdrop Stud Earrings and Anemone Necklace
I’ve been so late in getting out my March mailing list email! It will go out soon and the special offer will be good until the next email. I have a few new items in the works for spring. Here’s one, some simple 5 mm fine silver post earrings with a soft brushed finish. I recycle the fine silver from fusing mishaps.
And here’s a pendant made from sturdy 18 ga sheet roll printed between two sheets of brass, one etched with an anemone flower, the other a simple floral pattern. To contrast with the vintage appearance of the botanical illustration and floral pattern I added curved corners and a ball chain for a more modern look that almost reminds me of paper/bookbinding.
I’ve also been enjoying making hoop earrings in the post style like these simple flattened and brushed ones:
and I’m working on some with a pattern similar to my vine necklaces.

Petal Earrings on the Martha Stewart Show
Originally uploaded by esjewelry
I just watched the show this morning (it’s the leap year show- February 29th) but for some reason, in my area it didn’t air until today. I’d gotten a convo from Etsy admin on Friday the 22nd that the producers of the Martha Stewart show had selected some items and I guess the idea is that they would choose some to be on the show from those that arrived by Monday. So I sent my petal earrings, necklace, and birch bark ring Express and it looks like they selected both earrings and matching necklace, but Rob and Martha were running out of time as they went across the table from left to right. Mine seem to be last in line of the jewelry- so they weren’t mentioned by name, but you can see my little green boxes in the picture. As Rob mentions in the show, the selected items were on the Etsy front page on Friday, so I did end up with about 18 items to pack and ship for that day (most went out Saturday) and quite a few made-to-order rings to complete over the weekend. I think it was a record day for hearts- almost 200. So, thank you Etsy and Martha.
Oh and March 11th is when Emily Martin (The Black Apple) will be on Martha. I keep missing the show when Etsians are featured, so I’ll have to remember to watch on the 11th!
