We're All Ears: July Challenge

The inspiration and challenge for July was a tough one. I am not an American so I am not familiar with all the patriotic traditions. The photo below was the inspiration for the monthly challenge.

I have been collecting all of my vintage trade beads in preparation for some new necklaces and these beads popped out. I realize they are extremely simple but this is what I like to wear. Light and simple.

Thank you EARRINGS EVERYDAY for this challenge.


Thanks for visiting. Enjoy!

    That's the great thing about these challenges...each of us is inspired by the art in a unique way. I'm a big fan of African trade beads.These simple stacked earrings will get a lot of use this summer, I'm sure!

    I love how delicate your earrings are! I end up only wearing delicate ones too even though I create a lot that aren't :). Those beads are so pretty. Nice job!

    There is nothing wrong with simple! Red white and blue is classic no matter where you are from and I love the sweet simplicity of this design! Thank you for joining in the We're All Ears Challenge for July! Enjoy the day! Erin

    Like you, I collect trade beads and am pretty stingy about using them in my designs. They always make a design pop, though, just as yours does. I bet these cute earrings will get a lot of wear.
