I was at the Urban Craft Uprising in Seattle this weekend, and I fell in love with some earrings. It's not just a crush, I'm head over heels. They are massive hoops with ruffled metallic snakeskin print leather. Yes, metallic and snakeskin, and leather. They are the best colorway ever- teal and hot pink on black. The teal dominates one side, and the pink dominates the other, making them reservable. The pair is not too heavy and each ruffle is on a sturdy hoop with a post that latches shut. These earrings and I were meant to be together.
The artist who made, CJ, them has a fantastic store on etsy, Lunaversoul. She brought an amazing spread of jewelry to the Urban Craft Uprising. Her table was covered with beautiful work that was very unique. She had necklaces, earrings and bracelets. Besides leather, CJ's accessories incorporate wooden beads and feathers, bold color and well placed flair. Her perspective was very creative and very fresh. Just like my new earrings.
Molded painted leather earrings were popular at craft fairs in the 80s - and frankly I don't think they could possibly stay gone long enough. More power to you for rockin' em, but not to my taste.

they look like rotting scrunchies.

I beg to differ! These earrings are actually super fly. I saw Brookelynn with the earrings on yesterday and they instantly caught my attention. The colors are gorgeous and poppin, and the style is really original and fresh.
