Kasuarine, cones and other natural stuff - made to earrings

There is a beauty in natural things, in wood and leaves, in flowers and every single petal, in cones and roots... Organic, living material has a beauty of it's own. And I like to make earrings out of them. Just two normal little cones... I drilled a hole into them with my dremel, glued in the wire and hooked them. 

Simple, yet something beautiful.

You maybe remeber the earrings I made out of the kasuarine cones? I made again one with the creme coloured bead... but also some with red glas beads. I think both looks great and I'll try some more different colours. 

And I found a new strange cone / seed / wooden thing at the floral deparment of the craft store. I don't know what kind of plant created them (if you do, please let me know!). But I am into their strange look and combined with glas beads they have their very own look!

Little cones...

...with a touch of pink glitter added! 

A little bit of glue added, thrown into a box with pink glitter... quite easy to make! 

...and so perfect for the season :)

Everything changes to an earring in my hands!

I found this little cones in the art supply store at the main station. The lighter one are the bleached variations of the dark ones. I had them in my hand and their size and structure is so simple and yet beautiful in the complicated pattern of the surface...

I cut the upper end and drilled a little hole in it. All with my dremel! I couldn't do without it anymore ^^ The silver wire is glued into the cone.

The little earing holder is just a piece of a toilet paper role glued on recycled cardboard and I used my new carved arrow stamps (just in case you didn't notice ;) ).

One of my friends suggested silver colour on one of the cones and I tried it. I like the result although the next time I will use another paint (acrylic paint, Reeves) or maybe just add some retarder... we'll see :)

PS: I am sorry for the long breaks between every entry at the moment but there are some issues in my family and also with friends which just needs more attention than my blog. First things first... but hopefully everything will get better with the time and then I'll take my time to make pics of all the stuff I got done. Although I slowed done my craftings I didn't stop them (otherwise I would have gone insane up until now!) so there is still a lot I can show you :)

PPS: I just can say thanks here to an anonym comment who helped me with some little errors I made. Would love to write it to you on a more direct way but also hope this may be sufficient :)
