Vampire related shows and movies just seem to be appearing everywhere at the moment.
One of my favourite shows for a few years has been True Blood which is based on the Sookie Stackhouse novels. Rutina Wesley, who plays Tara Thornton (one of the shows main characters), wore these earrings to the premiere of the second series.
To create these glitzy earrings I have used swarovski crystal rivolis with a peyote stitch bezel around and then a cluster for the teardrop. I’ve combined these with a pair of hinged crystal earring wires.
I also made this incredible necklace using some of our altered art supplies watch vials. I have used 22 gauge wire as a small loop to create the hook and some food colouring to represent blood in the vial. The vintage label I have given an aged look with some sepia accents combined with black glaze pens. The vial is then combined with some firepolish and swarovski crystals in blood red and fine chain to make a unique necklace, perfect for creatures of the night.
