Mismatching Watercolor Earrings

"Mismatched" Flower Earrings


I had finished a "new" bangle for my Spring 2015 color line, and as it sat on my desk one evening during a serious cleaning of the office/bead studio, a few earrings popped right out of the pattern.  So I Photoshopped the shapes out:


And came up with a "leaf pattern" which consequently looks a bit like hopps or upside down corn.


And two different versions of the flower.  At first I thought the small flower and the leaf would make a fun "mismatched" pair of earrings.  But as some comments rolled in on Facebook and Instagram, I started a second flower earring, slightly longer, to mismatch with one of the two I had already made.


In the end, I really prefer the two "mismatching" flowers together. So I'm making a match for the leaves now.
