Technically, Queen Anne's Lace grows as a bunch of little white flowers that sometimes have one mysterious purple/magenta colored flowerette in the center of the bunch. Quite intriguing really.
I made these little flower ear hooks, and then went in search of a good name for them. The inspiration for these earrings is from the Edwardian era, after a movie I watched from the era. The heroine's name was Anne. So, it wasn't that big of a leap to Queen Anne's Lace, especially after I started thinking of bunching several of these together somehow....
Anyway, I am having fun exploring ways to make my own flowers....
And, this was my first time to work with Iolite. Such a beautiful stone. A sort of purply blue...I can't believe I haven't discovered them sooner. I think I am quite smitten.
In other news, school starts in a week. The 105 plus degree days haven't abated in a month, and I am becoming increasingly irritable. The girls seem to be bickering more than usual, and everything seems to bother me. I am holding out for cooler weather and a little breathing room. It really can't come soon enough.....
