Over the past few months I've been incredibly inspired by the all the handmade jewelry on Etsy and jumped into creating some myself. I began with this feather earring - I have a large collection of feathers I've found that beg to be used. This is a simple (slightly haphazard) design that works well with long hair.
Christmas was the perfect opportunity to make jewelry for all the girls in my family - it was really fun thinking about what would suit each person. I made small cards to go with each piece for a little insight on what they mean, which I printed on a paper bag. I didn't buy very much, I combed thrift stores for jewelery to re-purpose and used other materials I have at home (a big bag of deer scrap leather is always useful).
When you feel a little wild and graceful, put these earrings on.
