"Buttons & Bones"
Probably by now you realize I am not the shy type.
Call it being a Texan.

I've made a small group of skull earrings just in time for Halloween.
Carved bone and oxidized crystal rondells, hung on a pair of my lovely oxidized sterling silver ear wires.
These have a delicious pair of vintage shoe buttons at the bottom!
And, as my dear friend Susie says....don't be ascared!
Oh, and here are two more pairs...one with long vintage rhinestone dangles and one with shorter vintage rhinestone dangles.
Can you imagine hand-carving these little guys?
Boo!
(If you likey any, just let me know here....they are $46 each....which includes shipping =)

these are fascinating - i love the juxtaposition of skulls and rhinestones... it makes them seem more genuinely antique... and the shoe buttons are adorable (love the color of them)...
really really great!
HA! Love it Diane, too funny. I agree with MJ, love the combination. Kind of gives the skulls a "royal" flare! Riki xoxo

How quirky and fun! Perfect for this time of year. Love the rustic skulls and the rhinestones. Love!
Cute little guys!
Diane,
That is a very good combination. The buttons almost looks like horn to me...or the color of some horn...but they are buttons! Love the two colors together and the whole look!
Hugs,
Suz
I can see them dancing in the moonlight...and I am not afeared!
Diane, just love these! They are a neat departure from your usual work but yet have that vintage mark and are undoubtedly yours! What fun earrings to wear for Halloween or any time. :-)
When you & Allen come out for a visit we will have to go to Disneyland together!!! We can buy grandbaby some cute toys from there until we can get him out here!
Smiles friend,
Susie
.Beautiful!!!I'm not afraid!
They look like 19th Century's princess pirate's earrings ...
Well I just had to come by on the recomendation of Vintage Susie. I followed her on her adventures to the land of bluebonnets and fun stuff. i love her esthetic and if she says you're the bees knees, why then I need to follow you too. Hope you don't mind another mouthy broad in the mix.
