I mentioned yesterday that the Operation Tackle That Bead Stash Facebook Group is holding a year long pair of earrings a week challenge. The challenge is being organised by Clair from Obstinate Pursuit inspired by Beading Daily's January daily earrings challenge, which many of us were unable to commit to. A pair of earrings a day for a whole month would be impossible for me to complete but one a week is doable, I hope!
These earrings were inspired by a character from episode 1 of the new Sherlock Holmes tv series on BBC1. Miss Adler was a serious femme fatale who exuded a certain vintage style glamour, so I wanted to make something that had a vintage look to them. I started with large cream faux pearls, bezzled them with bronze delicas and then added picot edging and incorporated Cyclamen Opal Swarovksi 4mm bicones for a little splash of colour.
Happy beading!

I love your challenge earrings,Sarah! That Cyclamen Opal is a favorite Swaro of mine - rather mysterious and perfect for your Sherlock Holmes association!
Way to go Sarah! I love the shape of these, and the pearls are just perfect.
"To Sherlock Holmes she is always the woman. I have seldom heard him mention her under any other name. In his eyes she eclipses and predominates the whole of her sex."
Fab earrings Sarah :o)
Sarah, I love the vintage look. Do you know what I seem to becoming obsessed with looking at earrings in all the old-type TV series like Poirrot, Miss Marple etc. Your earrings are just lovely.
These are cute!
