Thanks, Marjorie. I can't remember now where I got them. I know I got just 4 of the beads, and I know who has the two pairs of earrings. One is an Irish friend and colleague, and the one in the photo is our Russian friend who's married to our English friend and former colleague of my husband. Both women have blue blue eyes.
I've always been fascinated with color and texture, but my interest in creating jewelry started when I noticed an ad for an arts-and-crafts shop opening in a local mall. I had lost one each of a couple of pairs of my favorite earrings and decided to try my hand at making my own. I bought some hoops and a few beads, put them together and had some left over... bought a few more to go with them... picked up a pair of pliers, some earring hooks, a little of this, a little of that...
And the rest, as they say, is history.
I'm a Carolina country girl transplanted to the Ile de France - a resident tourist, an amateur photographer, and a teacher for a very large international language-teaching company. We provide English lessons to French businessmen (and women) who need it to compete in this global economy.
Visiting France was a lifelong dream, but I never imagined I'd live here one day. Now I'm living in a Wrinkle-in-the-Outskirts of Paris with my husband and soulmate DiGi - about eleven miles from the center of the city.

Very pretty! The two beads go together perfectly. Lucky you to find such a lovely birdbird bead!
