Flap Your Wings

Judith B. Glende was a phenomenal jewelry designer and she befriended many in the beading blog community. Since Judy touched many of our lives in some way, Moobie Grace Designs is hosting a blog hop tribute in memory of her. I was first introduced to Judy through a blog-hosted, handmade earring exchange two years ago. She was my exchange partner. Ever since then, I've been captivated by her design work. We met over earrings, so I thought I'd make another pair in honor of her now. Judy loved to incorporate butterflies and other winged creatures in her jewelry designs. Inspired by the "Flap Your Wings" theme, I created these earrings:

Butterfly Bohemian Earrings

Fun and flirty earrings perfect for Spring and Summer! Colorful waxed linen cord in plum, fuchsia, and orange tie amethyst gemstone rounds to artisan copper links by Miss Fickle Media. Copper butterfly charms dangle from the centers. 

These beauties can be purchased in my Etsy Shop.
 *All proceeds from the sale of these earrings will be donated to the Melanoma Research Fund at Massachusetts General Hospital in memory of Judith B. Glende.*
