The Earjeans 365 Collection: #240

Good morning and Happy Friday to you! Here is the next addition to our jewelry collection. Enjoy :) #240 "the Color Block Connection" earrings I chose this color combination because I loved the contrast between them. The electric blue is so vibrant and the caramel color is so rich. Vibrant and rich sound like a winning combination to me :) These earrings are made with genuine leather, wood beads, and a hematite disc bead. Pair them with your favorite scoop neck, v-neck, or halter top for the (summer/winter) and a turtle neck (winter). click here to purchase today's earrings. (cute top from H&M http://www.hm.com/us/product/00637?article=00637-A ) I love wearing bright and vibrant colors especially in the summer. Shades or orange, yellow, and green are my favorite. (If you saw my closet, you'd believe me, ha!) What are your favorite colors to wear during the summer?

The Earjeans 365 Collection: #241

Sending some creativity to you this Tuesday evening....
Addition #241 is called "The Goddess Touch" This 2 piece necklace and earring set will make you feel like royalty. After I created it I tried it on and didn't want to take it off!
I found these turquoise gemstone spikes (dyed kelly green) and I couldn't leave the store without them. I also got a strand of the turquoise blue color and they are just as pretty. Click here for more information on this jewelry set

The Earjeans 365 Collection: #242

Today's jewelry creation is inspired by _____________ (fill in your name here). I call addition #242 "The Love Yourself" bracelet.
Speaking from my own personal experiences, I have been guilty of always putting other peoples needs, wants, and desires before my own. In my attempt to please everyone else, I was letting myself down and didn't realize it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being kind, considerate and even making certain sacrifices for others but it should never be at the cost of your personal neglect, safety, and well-being. I created this bracelet as a constant reminder for me to love myself, be good to myself, and not feel guilty about putting me first. Because when I am at my best, I can be my best to someone else. A few years ago I wrote and recorded a song called "Love Yourself" and now I am happy to have this bracelet to compliment it. Do you know someone who is guilty of this? Are you guilty of this? Why do you think you (we) do this?

A Huge thank you to one of my best friends, Lisa of Ekocreashunz, for teaching me how to crochet. I had a good time creating this.

The Earjeans 365 Collection: #245

Opposites attract and today that is definitely the case with our earrings for the day. Earring addition #245 are called opposites attract.
Materials used: purple leather, yellow leather (hand dyed), black seed beads, findings Purple and yellow are direct opposites on the color wheel hence the name. My search for the perfect shade of yellow leather ended when my friend, Lisa, of Ekocreashunz introduced me to the wonderful world of dyeing!! I'm especially excited about this dyeing process because the dye we used is eco-friendly so it is very safe for our environment. and here they are...

The Earjeans 365 Collection : #246

Happy Sunday everyone! I am very pleased to bring you addition #246 to our 365 collection. They are called "the Transition"
Materials used: Unique Italian 2-sided lambskin leather wood connector beads hematite beads head pins fish hook ear wires--- I created these earrings in honor of my recent decision to return to college and complete my degree in Fashion Merchandising. I am learning and growing so much. While I am 1000% excited I am definitely feeling a bit uncomfortable. And it has nothing to do with the classroom....
Its one thing to dream of "one day becoming or having ____________ (insert your dream here). It's a totally different thing when you can feel it actually happening. All of a sudden your insecurities begin to surface and you silently question and/or doubt your ability to carry this amazing dream out. For fear of failing you immediately want to retreat back to what is comfortable and familiar. *Begins talking to self* Growth and maturity can only happen successfully from a place of discomfort. Returning to "familiar" will only keep you in the same place you're in. It is obviously true that you want better because you've gotten this far on your new journey. Close your eyes, say a prayer of faith, take a deep breath, and embrace "The Transition"
After creating these earrings and posting this blog, I am feeling a little bit better. Thank you for reading! Tasha LaRae Click here for more information on these earrings including how to purchase
