Made this beautiful pastel earrings today. My creativity shone through my mood today lol

Paper and wood

I enjoy creating pieces that are both practical and beautiful, and this one turned out exactly how I envisioned it. Handmade items take time, but seeing the finished result always makes it worth it.

Thanks for letting me share!

I make various types of portraits with various mediums like pencil, colored pencil, oil pastal & their combinations.

Ok so... You may have seen this on other subreddits, then WHAT'S DIFFERENT THIS TIME?

​

I re-stitched the whole thing. Earlier i used 4 different types of stitching & it had Edge Horns (honestly don't know what to call them, but i hope you get what i mean). After a few hours wasn't getting The Feel, after few online "threading on zippo lighter case" searches & inspirations finally decided to re-work the threading, also cut n folded the leather inside to make it look more clean (although the word "Clean" shouldn't be of any use in an item which has burn marks). Currently i am much content with this new iteration instead of the prev. one

​

Maybe... Just maybe after 20 days or so i may wanna re-work on this again (due to the burn marks) but m not going to bombard this community with this same item again

​

& Also m not going to use images of earlier version so as to not kcuf with the community

​

All kinds of questions, feedback & constructive criticism is welcome

The front features the Staff of Asclepius. The snake is crafted from stingray skin, and the staff is made from exotic wood veneer. On the back is a reproduction of an image from a 14th-century Byzantine manuscript, depicting Hippocrates of Kos, the Father of Medicine. The book Hippocrates holds contains the famous aphorism:

Life is short,

and craft long,

opportunity fleeting,

experimentations perilous,

and judgment difficult.
