Are these earrings not the coolest? My friend Peg made them just for me and I’m so delighted. Can you see the resemblance to the dogs in the quilt in the background?
These little puppies are as cute as they can be and light as a feather. They’re made out of special paper and they’re coated with plastic so that they won’t melt should I happen to get caught in the rain.
They are extremely sturdy, so I don’t have to worry about scarves, wind gusts, or enthusiastic hugs. These earrings will come out unscathed.
She also made me two pair of Twisted Sisters earrings.
And a pair from a photograph of part of my St Basil’s Cathedral quilt.
And a pair out of the quilt top I made after my mom passed away.
The earring art is 3/4″ square and for pierced ears only. They are ultra light. They feel like you’re wearing nothing at all, in your ears at least.
So why am I going on and on? I think I’d like to sell these earrings on my web page. How does $10 a pair sound? These designs will only be available through me. Raise your hand if you’re interested. Your feedback is appreciated. Leave me a comment in the comment section of the blog. Ask your friends to weigh in too. Thank you!

Deb Devine – you can convert most dangly “pierced” earring to clip-ons with jewelry findings that can be bought at Michaels, Joannes, or even WalMart. I’d practice on a few before touching these, since they look a little dainty.

If they are light/fragile I can see why she made them in the style that she did, however I don’t wear earrings that aren’t posts. Can she make them with posts? The designs are beautiful, especially the one of your quilt. $10 is okay if it includes shipping/handling. For years I have worn earrings that I made myself from polymer clay that is preformed in little rolls that looked like quilt designs. I slice them, bake them and sell them at craft shows for under $5 but they are posts. Her designs are very nice and you should do well if you offer them.

Sharon,
You will be pleased with the sturdyness. I have tested them extensively and evolved them since thier inception- with this major factor in mind !!! credit cards are durable ;)- and the key tags you get from all the stores for your discounts are durable–all those are paper with a plastic overlay. I would say to tear them up- you got to be on a mission to do it.- and hopefully that wont be your goal when you have them on your head :) Dont let the raw materials they are made of or the delicate appearance fool you-
You will LOVE the fact that they are light as a feather and your ears will thank you!!!

Lots of hands in the air here, too.
The method of putting them in or on your ears can be changed by you easily once you get them, folks. Any place that sells jewelry findings will sell posts, clip ons, French wires and the wires that hook so you don’t lose them. Easy to change. Personally I don’t like posts because it’s uncomfortable to talk on the telephone! Wires only for me, thank you.

RE: Silver wire
Sheryl,
Fire Mountain Gems carrys this wire desgin in Sterling- if you can swap the charms out yourself. The design style is called perfect balance. So with a pair of round nose pliers and a twist of your wrist you could be styling too..
Sorry, at this time I am not able to offer them in silver. Am so glad you love them..
Thanks for you input- as I know there are others that have selective earring wire needs. Hope this helps.

Many years ago there was a lady from Texas who made these earrings – sold at quilt shows, etc. Texas Treasures was the name, I think. She would do custom – with pic of your own quilt, too. I have my daughter standing in front of the quilt I made for her…….. They were $10.
