The other day I was in a relaxing mood by not trying to make new jewellery all the day. I was thinking of taking a day break from my usual schedule.

So I started picking up some real moments to get involved in my new project "The Insects Series" in a shape of handmade Earrings. I found the colourful butterfly, sweet honeybee or even the scary bedbug/ladybird will be interesting subjects which ladies won't mind to wear on their ears. But it must look like the original one as well as light weight.  To be very honest, this idea came to my mind when I was making the Multi-purpose Table Pot (you can read the article here ).
