I definitely remember more than a few Perler Bead projects in my childhood. As much fun as I remember them being back then, Perler Beads have definitely grown over the years. Now there are famous cartoon characters, 3D objects like earring stands and photo frames, stand up playsets & those original craft kits I played with when I was a little crafter.

Bargain alert
Ipopped into Topshop today after college not looking for anything in particular, I just hadn’t been in for a while and was amazed to find the above packs of earrings for the prices I got them for! So the one on the left has a missing pair of studs and the other has an admittedly very pretty earring missing, but I was amazed that a tiny portion of the pack being missing should be mean a tiny portion of the price was asked! They went from ��8 and ��6 to a mere ��1 each. The yellow flowers are just lovely and have to be my favourites, meanwhile I’ve been looking for some pretty yet unobstrusive studs to wear as most of my earrings are quite stand out pieces. I am very pleased indeed. Have you found any bargains lately?

In Case You’re Missing It: Basketball Wives Are Doing Big Things
Episode 2 of the show was pretty much more of the same as the first episode, and again my attention was all on the glitz and the glam (particularly the oversized earrings) that mainly Jennifer has been wearing. Big earrings that stand out have always been a favorite, but it seems they’re in a whole lot bolder for the Spring/Summer 2010. See Them In Action: If you’re feeling the big earring trend, they’re very much affordable and some of the same exact styles worn by Jennifer can be found right here with more to come .

The Making of a Model
I did some research before launching my Etsy shop, and one helpful piece of advice involved using props and models for photography. They recommended against actual models wearing earring, as that could be off-putting and unhygienic. (To be honest, I never thought of that. Although once it was mentioned, it made perfect sense.) Anyway, to give myself a break from photographing earrings in bowls, dangling from fabric and plants and overhead views on textured paper, I decided to create my own model. I thought it would make for an interesting prop while also providing a sense of scale. It turns out, making a cardboard model could not be easier. Just find a photo of one of your prettiest friends (Ask his or her permission, of course.) and blow it up to life-size, crop it and mod podge onto cardboard. I painted mine in a nice, neutral palette so that my colorful earrings would stand out.

DEAR SUGAR, The Rumpus Advice Column #30: Pluck It From the Floor. And Onward You Go.
Jinxed Dear Jinxed, One time I dropped a pearl earring while I was standing in my bedroom. I got down on my hands and knees and looked, but I couldn’t find it. I stood up in frustration and looked again, only this time I barely opened my eyes. I squinted and scanned the room and there was my pearl, so perfectly evident amidst the vast sea of things. It’s a funny sort of reverse logic, how every now and then your vision is clearer when you constrict rather than expand it.
