Giving Me Butterflies

September 16, 2010

Since seeing Heidi Klum on the 2008 Emmy Awards red carpet in these STUNNING Lorraine Schwartz jade butterfly earrings, I have been dying for a pair of whimsical dangling butterfly earrings of my own. 




So I decided to recreate the look!



With some pretty earrings from the garden section of the craft store, I went to work.  Adding chain, beads and hook posts, I played around with them until I was satisfied. 




They are just the right amount of whimsy.





Here I am after work without makeup (just gloss).  I can imagine wearing these beauties when I am all dolled up on my way to a nice dinner date with my Honey. 







I think I may play around with even BIGGER butterflies.


...now on to the other colors! :)


Thanks for reading! xoxo
