Janet Earrings - Hematite & Orchid Aqua

JANET EARRINGS

• 11/0 seed beads Miyuki "Metallic Gunmetal" (451)
• 8/0 seed beads Miyuki "Metallic Gunmetal" (451)
• CzechMates tile beads "Polychrome Orchid Aqua"
• SuperDuo beads "Polychrome Orchid Aqua"

As I mentioned in THIS post earlier this month, my plan is to create a pattern for these earrings. I was waiting to show you the earrings that I've made until I was ready to post the pattern. However, due to everything that's going on in the world right now, I'm finding it difficult to motivate myself to spend hours sitting at my computer creating diagrams. So, I've decided that I will show you the earrings now rather than waiting for the pattern to be ready. I have five more pairs to show you over the next few days.

These earrings are my adaptation of Deb Roberti's "Coin Earrings" with SuperDuos added. You can buy Deb's original pattern HERE.

 

Russian Leaf Earrings #4

RUSSIAN LEAF EARRINGS #4

• 8/0 seed beads Miyuki "Duracoat Galvanized Light Pewter" (4221)
• 11/0 Miyuki Delica beads "Duracoat Galvanized Light Pewter" (DB1851)
• 11/0 Miyuki Delica beads "Matte Opaque Sea Foam Glazed Luster" (DB374)
• 11/0 Miyuki Delica beads "Galvanized Matte Berry" (DB1167)

Yesterday I had a request for bead pick-up instructions to make "Russian Leaf Earrings" with this design. I previously blogged about the sample earring above HERE but I never did make a complete pair of these earrings. Let me know if you see any "Russian Leaf" color charts on my blog that you would like the bead pick-up instructions for and I will type them up and post them.

Click HERE to download my free PDF file which tells step-by-step when to add each color Delica bead while making these earrings. This is NOT a tutorial for making "Russian Leaf" earrings". You will need to use Jill Wiseman's tutorial (see the link below) but make them with seven rows instead of nine as Jill instructs. The color chart below is included in the PDF file.
Read THIS post where I explain how I finish and reinforce my Russian Leaf earrings. I also have information about how I stiffen my earrings in THIS post.

Watch Jill Wiseman's YouTube video tutorial HERE to learn how to make Russian Leaf earrings similar to these and download her free PDF HERE. 


You can buy Delica beads at Red Panda, Aura Crystals, Supply Emporium and Jill Wiseman Designs.
 

Chain Link Bracelet & Janet Earrings

CHAIN LINK BRACELET

• 11/0 seed beads Miyuki "Duracoat Pewter" (4222)
• 8/0 seed beads Miyuki "Duracoat Pewter" (4222)
• SuperDuo beads "Turquoise Copper Picasso"

The very day that I sat down to make these earrings, in preparation for making a pattern for them, the video for this bracelet was posted on YouTube by Jigisha Patel of JRPDesigns. It was just the thing to go with these earrings. You can watch her video HERE. There is a link below the video to buy this pattern in her Etsy shop but I don't see the pattern there. In any case, it's super easy to make by following the video. The tutorial doesn't call for any 8/0 seed beads but I used one on each end to attach my clasp. JP makes a seed bead loop with 11/0 beads in the video.

I made my bracelet the same size as JP's with nine motifs. It fits my 6-inch wrist and measures 6 1/2 inches long with the clasp and jump rings. Hers is actually slightly longer because of the loops she makes.

JANET EARRINGS

• 11/0 seed beads Miyuki "Duracoat Pewter" (4222)
• 8/0 seed beads Miyuki "Duracoat Pewter" (4222)
• CzechMates tile beads "Turquoise Copper Picasso"
• SuperDuo beads "Turquoise Copper Picasso"

These "Janet" earrings are my adaptation of Deb Roberti's "Coin Earrings" with SuperDuos added. I had completely forgotten that I had planned to make a pattern for my version until someone recently brought it to my attention. I have the instructions typed up but I still need to create the diagrams.

I first blogged about my variation HERE back in 2015. You can buy Deb's original pattern HERE.

Big SuperDuo Mandala Earrings - Blue Picasso & Pewter

BIG SUPERDUO MANDALA EARRINGS

• 11/0 seed beads Miyuki "Duracoat Pewter" (4222)
• 8/0 seed beads Miyuki "Duracoat Pewter" (4222)
• SuperDuo beads "Opaque Blue Picasso"
• SuperDuo beads "Pearl Luster" (no longer available)

Today's earrings would go very well with the "Northern Star" bracelet that I blogged about HERE. I blogged HERE about a pair of matching "Bethany Earrings" but I think I like today's earrings even more with that bracelet. Although the "Pearl Luster" SuperDuo beads are no longer available, you can substitute the "Antique Silver" SuperDuos that I used to make the bracelet.

You can download the free earring pattern HERE on the Matubo bead site.
