I decided to decorate some earring backings - I love the feathers in my hair, and I thought it would be fun to have some that can be easily removed, for those days when I wanted to be a little wilder. They're very easy to make - I've put the directions for making them on my blog .

I'm still playing with netting; here's a new one. It uses 11° and 15° seed beads, and the clasp is another of my vintage buttons, this time with a lapis lazuli bead. There's a story in my blog, and tutorials ( bracelet and clasp ) in my Etsy, for anyone who is interested. Thanks for looking...

Made with peridot and 11°, 15°, and 6° seed beads. The clasp is another one of my vintage buttons. This is mostly netting, with a few odd turns and a bit of square stitch. There's a story in my blog, and a tutorial in my Etsy if you're interested in either! Thanks for looking!

This is my second necklace in the Steampunk style; it features lampwork by Melissa Vess and a polymer clay face from Kristie-Lou Brigham . Lots and lots of seed beads, swaros, and fresh water pearls; plus watch parts, of course! If you like my stories, the further adventures of Eugenia can be found on...
