Some days, even the most devoted bead weaver needs a little immediate gratification. Something that works up fairly quickly. Something that doesn't require you to put on the stronger glasses and thread that tiny, tiny needle with that tiny, tiny thread.

So some days, it's time for an earring-making binge. An earring-palooza. An earful (sorry, couldn't resist a little pun).

These are a few pictures from my latest earring extravaganza -- not all that came off the work table that day, but a little sampling.

The eye beads are fun, but the best part about these are the
vintage buttons that came off of an old sweater |
Instant gratification!

Very fun and I know just what you mean!
Oh I so agree with immediate gratification, your earrings are gorgeous. I love the mother of pearl ones, no wait I love them all.
I love what you've created here but those first one definitely have to be my favorites.
I was just thinking today that I needed an earring-making day. I had no idea anyone else had binges like I do. It's good to know I'm not alone :)
I have a ton of earrings in stock for many of the same reasons. But mostly because they are an inexpensive addition and give everyone an opportunity to make a purchase without having to give it much thought.
I keep meaning to write a post on earring production. Maybe someday soon.
Oh they are all so pretty! But those pearls are stunning ! Just amazing and unique!
Gorgeous earrings!!!! My favorites are the first two.
I love the almost instant gratification of making earrings and sometimes I have to force myself to make bracelets or necklaces.
those top 2 photos are fabulous! and the bottom looks like it has great fun swing :-)
Love them all, and those little buttons are a great repurpose.
