Elsile - Upcycled Vintage White Glass Bead Earrings Supporting Cancer Awareness

My maternel grandmothers name was Elsile but everyone called her Liza. I found a broken necklace amongst her belongings after she passed away made up of these white twisted glass beads.

I made these earrings for this weeks Etsy Project Embrace Team challenge. The theme was "recycled". I added sterling silver beads and findings to the beautiful vintage glass beads.

Etsy Project Embrace is comprised of a group of sellers spreading awareness, raising funds and offering hope and embraces for those whose lives have been touched by cancer. To find out more visit the team blog at http://etsyprojectembrace.blogspot.com/. You can find these earrings for sale in my Etsy shop. I lost my grandmother to breast cancer and so a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the American Cancer Society in her honor.

Have a great day everybody, thanks for stopping by.

Working On Resolutions

As some of you may know one of my resolutions for the new year was to paint more. Two other resolutions were to create items with all the beads I have and to work on my photography skills. I've spent the past week taking photographs of some of the items I made with the beads. And while I still have a ways to go on my photography skills at least I'm working on it.

You can find these earrings for sale in my Etsy shop with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the American Cancer Society as part of Etsy Project Embrace.

Have a great day everybody, thanks for stopping by.
