Translucent resin bling earrings

Another month has gone by and once again here comes the We’re all Ears challenge by Earrings Everyday This time around our inspiration is a macro photograph of a dragonfly covered in dew drops  by Martin Amm. When I first looked at the picture I found it to be very scary. But then I like dew drops and I like dragonflies so I thought both combined cant be too scary.
The obvious choice for this challenge would have been to use horned beads or beds with little drops on them. But since I find my local clientele not appreciative of such beads I don’t really stock them, so I had to hunt through my supplies to find suitable beads. I had bought these large crystal rhinestone beads during my visit to Bangalore in January and combined them with a Handmade Resin focal I had recently made to create this stunning pair.

We’re All Ears :: March Reveal- Translucent resin bling earrings

 

 The resin focal was another experiment where I tried Marbling. It was very interesting to try that I used up all bezels I had in the process :D. The components are translucent. When I first made them I thought that they looked like a fruit punch splash but When you shine a light on them, it shows up the ribbed lines through the splatter pattern which looks kind of like the diaphanous wings of a dragonfly. So I have named them as Translucent resin bling earrings.

I hope you found it interesting
 Cheers
