Photography Update

| Andrea Watson O'Dell

 

Per the feedback I received from all of you on Facebook and WordPress, I decided to go with the beach wood as the background for my shell jewelry. I photographed some new earrings a few days ago and really started to love the look of the beach wood. Originally I preferred the white background, but now it’s easy to see how much the jewelry stands out against the new background. I’m happy that I asked for feedback and I am so grateful for all of your responses! What would I do without you? :)

Shell Earrings

| Andrea Watson O'Dell

These earrings are made from the shells I’ve collected while walking along along the beaches of eastern North Carolina. After forming the hooks and jump rings from sterling silver or copper wire, I choose a matching pair of shells from my collection. I very carefully saw off any rough edges from the shells and then thread the shells onto the wire so that they hang as evenly as possible. It sometimes takes a few tries, but I eventually come up with a beautiful and unique set of earrings.  I absolutely love making each pair and I hope that whoever wears them will enjoy them just as much!
