On a less glamorous note, the word "earring" reminds me of "earwig." Which is a funny word that would be even funnier if it actually meant coiffure for the cartilage.
People talk about cartilage when they talk about ears, don't they? I thought about that as I drew this ear. I even outlined it in black Sharpie, no windows cracked. Because when it comes to creating quality images, breathing is secondary.
You may recall that I don't wear earrings. But I do enjoy making them. I think that they're one of the daintiest yet most statement-making accessories that a woman can wear, and because of that they wield a lot of power. Also, they detract from ear hair.
Charlie Plain Chain Earrings
And now for something I will wear: this pair of necklaces and contrasting spring sweaters.
Purple sweater: American Rag, Kohl's; Mint (although it looks white) sweater: LC Lauren Conrad, Kohl's
I call the pink necklace Piece Offering, and I don't call the other one anything. One day when I'm doing something mundane like killing a spider, the right name might come to me. Something like Erstwhile Earwig.
Turns out that wasn't a spider.

Love your ear drawing!! It's a happy, cheerful ear. I love all the earrings you made - I love how the Rebecca earrings are like a series but with different colors! The hot pink heels on the peace sign necklace are so cute! Each necklace pops against the backdrop of the two sweaters; I really love the pink-to-purple gradient one! (P.S. - Erstwhile Earwig is an awesome name).
