paint

I often paint and glue my leather parts for the earrings in advance. When I feel like it. Then I use the painted leather when my ongoing design needs it- it can take for a year or a week or just hours. Depends on the flow.

These leather parts I made one summer evening but something more important came along and I put the designs aside. Now when cleaning up my desk and the drawers I found these red and orange leather designs I knew that it was their time to shine.

The metal chain is from old bracelet that I found from charity shop and took apart. I love the way the thin chain moves, reminds me of misty mornings and spider webs in the forest.

The fabric is old IKEA curtain.

Passion comes in many colors, luscious red lips maybe the ultimate passion statement, Hollywood glam.

Between the two oval leather parts I glued long, black fringes which I painted red from the bottom part to give the fringes more weight and structure.

Red lips are red leather

covered with mixture

of glue and red glitter.

By adding the eye over the lip made the whole design more “salvador dali” that is surrealistic. In the middle of the eye I added one semi shiny plastic bead.

Again one design process that I did not plan step by step, just went with my inner flow. And for sure not gonna repeat these bold lips again, all my designs are one-of-a-kind.
