Contemplating earrings

[redbird]

This is a question for those of you who know me in person. elisem has posted new work, including a pair of earrings that I like, and am trying to decide whether to get. The question is, do you think I would actually wear them? The name is "Of Violets and Electricity," and has some appeal in addition to the physical and visual attraction of the beads.

ETA: I have just sent email to the "gimme" address to buy these (assuming nobody else has done so since Elise last updated her art log/new work page).

I don't know enough about your habits of ornamentation to know if you would. But if you would, I think you should - besides the purple and the name, the twisty frizzy silver dangly bits remind me of your hair, and I think they would look very appropriate together. At least for sedentary festive occasions, and gatherings of fans of elise.

I do not know you in person; however, I am a big ol' elisem enabler, and I think you ought to get them. If only to keep me from buying them myself (my budget just doesn't have leeway for more shinies this month)!

I would get them, if I were you.

I can't say whether or not you would actually choose to wear them, but they would look quite becoming on you.

They're gorgeous and they'd look terrific on you. Yes, you would wear them.

I know it's late, but my personal rule (that's saved me a lot of money) is not to buy anything I could make. But "able to make" includes access to particular beads as well as beading skill. And there's also the factor of supporting an artist you like. Good luck getting your earrings.

(There's also the factor in this case that those earrings will go well with gray *or* purple hair.)

The shape of the clear crystals looks like the glass insulators on power pylons, to me. So yeah, definitely electricity.
