Seed beaded fantasy butterflies to warm up this winter

Today it was cold and grey out over here, so I worked on some fantasy butterflies, bead embroidery and backed with leather. Someone I met through Painting with a Twist makes nice leather items and although I prefer vegan leather, her scrap leather has been nice to finish my smaller bead embroidered pendants with. Her link is https://www.instagram.com/cuspbycassie/ to give credit where credit is due.
I use dropbox to easily transfer my images but notice my crops did not save. Will have to investigate, it did save on my phone.

Earrings from my picture creations

So the pictures covered with Magic gel turned out nice and fully cured. I read somewhere that they stay tacky but it is pretty cold in the house again, so maybe that is why they are dry. I wonder if it will change when they get warm or when spring warms up.. But so far so good. Will have to take some pictures coming weekend when I have more time. They are very shiny, maybe I can put them on the scanner.
So I made earrings out of the tree picture pendants. With an attempt to wire wrap, or at least make decent little loops. One earring came out a lot longer than the other so I had to do it again, and I am afraid I mauled the silver colored wire with my little pliers. I know you can protect the tip with some paper tape to prevent the wire from getting beat up and tarnish later on. But I thought this would be quick. Not so, but all done now and I will proudly wear them to work tomorrow. I added some pretty light blue crystals as a dangle from a badly strung bracelet my husband got for me in Taiwan. Contrary to what you might think, he had trouble finding cheap things "made in Taiwan" there. I guess they are all shipped to the rest of the world.
So now I have to re-string the rest of the beads into a necklace.
Tomorrow night I am supposed to go boating on the Schuylkill but it is supposed to rain again. Bummer, we will never get in race shape with all this weather we've been having !
