Good morning BS! I'm making some triangular earrings with teal beads for an Italian client. I haven't noticed how much time has passed😅 -always like this with beads- ...and that I have to make lunch for me and the kids!😵 Racing to the kitchen to whip up something to eat 😂 What's on your agenda?

It's been a while since I shared the philosophy behind my work. In this photo, my hoop earrings it's been photographed together with dentist tools -it means that you don't need to have a glamorous life to wear what you like.Do you have a dental appt? Yep, that's your occasion!✨ What's your opinion?🙃

The hoops are made of leather (orange and fuchsia) and beads (turquoise), with a silver hooks. The photo is taken from above. One earring standing upright on a white surface; in the background on a glittery fuchsia surface the other one blurred. The image emphasize the message that you can choose to wear what you like whenever and wherever the hell you want.
