Tangled Tuesday - Hoarding Butterflies #etsygifts #etsyjewelry #beading

Today I want to give a shout-out to one of my artistic friends! 

If you like beautiful beaded earrings, necklaces and chains, please hop over and check out Hoarding Butterflies on Etsy. She uses beading as therapy for anxiety, which is awesome! Art is a wonderful tool for that. ❤️

She shared her two of her favorite pieces to showcase in my blog.

The one above is inspired by Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo. Shadow and Bone was recently adapted into a show via Netflix. One of the main characters, Alina, is a sun summoner.

The second is butterfly inspired & the colors are gorgeous. I can see this necklace looking fabulous  with a lavender or white summer dress, or even jeans and a t-shirt. 

Check out some of her other pieces - there are a lot to choose from. My personal favorite are these green heart earrings you can find right HERE. In fact, I think I’ll treat myself right now.😉

If you have a special occasion to buy for (or want to treat yourself) 

Hoarding Butterflies is the perfect choice for a unique, one of a kind gift!

Tangled Tuesday-Sometimes, I Make Stuff...but not these

I bought myself a pair of Ouija earrings for Christmas. As you may or may not know, I collect Ouija things and had been scouring the internet trying to find earrings in a particular glass bead style. I discovered a shop on Etsy by the name of The Kitschy Cupcake. She makes some cute things-you should definitely check her shop out. The earrings pictured are exactly what I bought--I love them!

So, sometimes a little light goes on in my writerly head. I started to wonder how difficult it would be to make earrings like this. Turns out, it's not! I learned the style is called glass cabochon and went from there. You can find simple video tutorials, if you are so inclined.

If you don't have the time or inclination, please check out Etsy. They boast some awesome shops and most likely, you'll be getting one-of-a-kinds. My earrings were a deal at $8.00
