There’s a subtle variety of colors going on here: some of the cranberry-colored size 15 beads are darker, some are lighter. The peridot size 11 beads are lined with wine color…they’re at once peridot green AND a light wine color. Together, these colors remind me of apples in late summer, when their darkest reds have developed, but lighter reds and streaks of spring green still remain.
Their shape and color also remind me of dried cayenne peppers.
The entire earring is approximately four inches long. It took three hours to complete the pair, one stitch at a time, bead by bead.
I made three pairs of these. They’re available in my store on Art Fire. Click on any of these pictures, and you’ll be taken there.
I also have one pair made with clear and clear AB seed beads, and three pairs in light sapphire blue and clear AB, which I’ll post tomorrow.
They would look lovely with a wedding dress, or a romantic off-the-shoulder white blouse.
