All the beauty of aged flowers...

This little ones are one of my favorite earrings now. The little metal flowers are covered with swellegant brass and then used with a lot of the patina (from Christi Friesen). Oh, I changed their form before I added anything. Normally the upper flower petals were even, I just curled them back. I wanted to use them as a central bead in earrings so the flat version was not really fitting. 

The light blue glass beads are at least over 25 years old if not way older and from czech. I got them from Rumpels mom (I already used the beads I got from her several times so you may remember them if you read my blog already :)). Just some bronze glass beads (very irregular shape but I so love them!) and these gorgous green czech beads I got from the curious bead shop.
