soc_puppetFor those who don't remember/weren't aware, a while back I arranged an art trade with redsixwing. I would crochet her a dark gray griffin, and she would craft me a pair of elvish ear cuffs. Along the way, the griffin got its own coat of chain mail; here are several pics of it: One, Two, Three, Four, Five. The first two are mostly just for different angles, the second two are to help show how the mail is constructed/attached. The last one was originally the "display" pic, but I didn't want to burden this post/my photobucket account any more than I had to, so now it's just part of the lineup.
Well, the ear cuffs arrived in my mail box not too long ago, and I promised to post pictures of them. And then I sat on the pics for way too long. Tonight I decided it was high time I made another amigurumi pic post (it's been four months since the last one, and that featured only one item!), and also that I wanted to edit more pics of my pets to share at Shakesville's Daily Dose of Cute threads, and figured it was the perfect time to get these pics ready to go.
Anyway, click the cut to see pics of yours truly modeling some absolutely gorgeous ear cuffs:
Custom ear cuffs with bronze wire, garnets, and garnet bead accents. These pics don't show the cuffs in all of their glory, but they do show how they look when worn by a human being, and also (hopefully) how pleased I am with them. I've been showing them off whenever possible to friends and family, to much admiration :)
Thanks again for doing an art trade with me,redsixwing!

For what it's worth, the beads in the cuffs are garnet too. :D

I -still- have half a strand of them, and it's been over 10 years. Some day I'll put the last one into something, probably?
