Rainbow and Trans Support Beaded "Huggie" Earrings

I started making these small close-to-the-ear-lobe earrings based on the "huggie" earring trend I was seeing a year or two ago. It turns out they have become my got-to earring when I need some color and pattern but I don't want anything dangly. This design is super functional and out of the way and lends itself easily to checkers and stripes.

I started with rainbows, and then began dabbling in some of the trans pride flag colors (but pastels are a little difficult for me to work with), I feel inclined to do most of my beading this year along this vein. It just feels like my subtle way of supporting my friends and fellow humans whos rights are being questioned in this current political climate. 


I've actually added all of these designs to my website. Some will be "made to order" since I will be sending a few off to galleries. If you order a pair of those, give me a little grace, I have a full-time day job too. 


All links to purchase from my website are on the subtitles and the bottom two photos if you're interested. These have been really popular lately when I've done pop-up shows.
