AI earrings

No, not THAT AI. These aren’t designed to pretend they’re something they’re not!

I’ve been having fun with Alcohol Ink painting on aluminum scales! From truly abstract to butterfly wing paintings, these earrings are completely one of a kind.

Alcohol Ink hand painted scale earrings

All hand painted, these are so much fun! After painting, the scales need to cure for a few days, then I seal using varnish and a UV protectant. Finally, after they’ve dried completely, I add the ear wires, and maybe a tiny scale or other rings to accent them.

Kind of like a Rorschach test…what do YOU see?

I love the randomness of the abstract paintings – sometimes I try to get them somewhat symmetrical, but honestly, a lot of the time, the ink just does what it wants to. I had the idea of the butterfly wings for some time, and love the way they turned out!

I’ve got several pairs available for sale – visit facebook.com/cmydesigns to see what’s available. Or let me know if you are looking for something a little different!
