Earrings, Ear...rains?


It turns out that I may like shiny and round laserdiscs too much to cut them up, just look at it up on my bulletin board there. Real life did get in the way of making earring prototypes which is why I could only make four and two half pairs. That will make more sense as we dive into the pictures of what I did make and did not have time to make!


Yep those clicky clacky record and metal earrings from last week are back along with

earrings that I rather like and have been told look like gladiator style or "something from Portal,"


this pair of sterling and vinyl ones that are kinda Sonic the Hedgehog looking,

another random acrylic and brass pair plus,

two single earring jackets made from Pente pieces, hence the "two half pairs" bit.

Onward to things that could have been, starting with this revamp of last week's leaf earring jacket into a full earring.

A combination tuxedo/five inch floppy disk earring! Actually this one was supposed to have the black acrylic bit swivel out from the silver triangle part, but alas time ate that one, too.


For giggles the original design of the blue pente piece earring jackets,

some sort of random seesaw earrings,

still messing around with an old oscilloscope based design,

treble clef earring with chimes hanging from them,

and, finally, the corresponding bass clef pair. This is the point where I ran out of ideas in the sketchbook, you see. From here I get to go on to make five pin prototypes/samples, which real life threatens to loom over as well. As a teaser, here are the two simplistic pins I was able to make beforehand: a 3D/not 3D cube pin, and a blobby X thing. Consider them a preview for next week.
