What was your inspiration?
Some of you know I spend a lot of time in my local bead shop Buttons, Bangles, and Beads. 2 days a week I actually work there. One of the perks is getting to play with beads to develop projects with materials in the shop. With the holiday season, everyone wants to make Christmas themed earrings, namely Angel earrings. This year I wanted to make something a little different than the normal Angel earrings. As I walked around the shop picking up product, these cute little Faeries came to life. I used holiday colors for most of them so they could be called Christmas Faeries, but any color/bead combination would be cute.
