I'm revisiting the whole floral skully theme for my last Terrorific Tuesday project. I don't actually have pierced ears, so I don't tend to make earrings all that often. However, I always like the small silver skull charms for earrings, so I thought I'd go ahead and make a pair.
The flower beads are actually leftovers from a project I did last year for Barb Switzer's book, earrings, earrings, earrings! (Softcover version). You can see the original project - a pretty, spring-themed bracelet and earring set - here. It's so easy to give these feminine pastel beads a gothic twist by adding a nice touch of black to the design (here, faceted onyx rounds). I topped it off with a couple demure dusky rose-colored pearls and my dangling skully charms.
That's it from me this year for Terrorific Tuesday! Happy Halloween, everyone!

I love these, they're very Day of the Dead. The flowers and skulls make me think of La Calavera Catrina. I have a t-shirt with the Posada image on it I've been toying with repurposing.
This color combination is really stunning. I'd wear these year round. Love them!
Cheers,
