These earrings are made from an original (not a print or copy) alcohol ink painting of mine, done on a synthetic paper.   In these earrings, two inks are combined to create shining layers of gunmetal gray and white pearlescence.   The rectangle shape is slender but mighty, sure to be noticed wherever you go!  

Alcohol inks are alcohol-based pigments which dry quickly but can be manipulated to create different effects.  I use a variety of techniques to work with the inks.  

The back of the painting (last photo) is stippled in the same colors to create a more uniform but interesting surface.  The pieces are cut and the edges are colored and varnished in black, then both sides are resined with a UV light-cured resin.  Comfortably light-weight and truly one of a kind!  

The tiny ice pick bails and French Hook earwires are silver-plated over brass.

Total length:  1 5/8 inches

Length and width of the bead:   Just over 7/8 inches long by 5/16 inch wide
