I've been meaning to pick out some of my clip on earrings to modify. Finally made my choices! Guess you can tell that I'm fond of the color blue. chuckle
The white and blue disks are lightweight and as far as I can tell, they go with just about everything! It'll be easy to pop off the clips on these. I really need to get out my old jewelry supply catalogs and find some good quality posts, not to mention research what type of glue would be best. Perhaps someone has come up with something new!
The confetti earrings are screw backs. I look forward to removing those little torture devices! They aren't very big, but they look really good on. Fairly subtle with just enough sparkle.
The flowers bring up the question of whether or not to alter a signed piece. They're marked Lisner..... and if I intended to sell them I would leave them as is. Collectors want to SEE that name! But hey, they're BLUE.... blue FLOWERS at that!!! So I have every intention of keeping them and I want to be able to wear them comfortably. Won't be hard to cut off the clip mechanism, file them smooth and glue on a post. Unless I can find someone who could possibly spot solder them. That may not be feasible because of the translucent glass. Oh well, I'll cross that bridge when I get there!
