RED EARRINGS

I have a commission to make a pair of red 'teabag' earrings for a regular customer at our local 'Art on Cairncross' Gallery. The lady has bought many of my jewellery pieces, so I am keen to do something special for her.
I have made jewellery from dyed teabag tissue in the past - they are always a hit with the more adventurous art lover. I have been 'out of the loop' with jewellery making for a few months, so it has taken a while to get back into it. The first pair I made were way 'over the top', 


..the next pair are a little better,

...and the third pair are 'just right' - remind you of anyone?? [answer at the bottom],

I layered and glued 4 or 5 new flat sheets of teabag tissue together, and painted over with red inks. Strips were cut and holes pricked every 1 cm, then wire and beads threaded through, 'concertinaing' the tissue as I went. 

I will give the client the choice between all 3 pairs - I'll let you know which ones she likes.

The answer to the riddle is Goldilocks, of course!! xoxoxo
