A friend and coworker of mine gave these to me as a Valentine's Day gift while we were on a business trip. Maybe because I didn't actually have a valentine. More likely just because she knows I love earrings and is one of the most thoughtful and generous people I know.

She also gave me a card that quoted Van Gogh saying, "I dream of painting, and then I paint my dreams."

She knows me pretty well, don't you think?

No idea where these are from. I don't wear these very often--for some reason they strike me as more formal, even though they're made of plastic beads.

Go figure.

Made by me, December 2009.

I made these. They were inspired by a pair of earrings given to me a couple of years ago.

I got these in Rome in the summer of 2007.

I got these from a street vendor in San Francisco last January. I love that the bottom spheres have a design carved into them. It's really subtle, so unless someone is really in my personal space they won't notice it. I think it's a nice little detail regardless.

I got these at Kazana, as well. I think they were 3 Euro. Looking at them now, I'm curious why the beads only go halfway up the pin. But I kind of like the effect. It makes the pin more a part of the earring design itself, rather than just having a hidden supporting role.

I made this pair of earrings with supplies purchased at Roberts Crafts and Michaels.
