Leather Lily Earrings

I'm back after a long hiatus. So many things happening around here since last I posted. Among them, we were able to send our oldest daughter to Europe for the American Music Abroad program, I gained a new son (in-law) and am about to become a grandma around my birthday this year. Wow! How time flies!


As for crafting, I've found a passion for leather crafting. I made my husband a hand carved belt for Christmas and my oldest daughter a leather journal with a photo of her and her husband on each lined page. They were big hits. I'll show photos later.


Today, I posted new earrings on my Etsy site. I found an adorable solution to the left over leather scraps that were piling up.

Cute, huh? Made from vegetable tanned leather, of which I molded and hand painted to resemble real tiger, stargazer and white lilies and added wire and seed beads to make them more realistic looking. They come in 1/2" and 3/4" diameter sizes.


Here's an example of how they look in different sizes.

I'm selling them at $23  (+ shipping) for the 1/2" earrings and $25 (+ shipping) for the 3/4" earrings. These are pierced earrings, but I can make the 3/4" as clip-ons upon request. Just "convo" me at http://pixieled.etsy.com
