“Cleo” a Jean Campbell Design

Cleo

I finally finished my “Cleo” earrings and it feels good to get them off of my bead board. I heard back from Jean Campbell and there is an error in the supply list that is listed in the book.. The beading pattern in the book calls for 12 metallic blue 2x 4mm swarovski, crystal, bicone beads but you will need 24  beads to complete the project.

You can find very easy to follow instructions, with great photos in her book “Creating Glamorous Jewelry”.One of the things that I love most about this book is that Jean talks about the inspiration for her pieces. “Cleo” was inspired by a photograph of Vivien Leigh in the theater production of Cleopatra.  Long and elegant, these earrings are definitely for someone with a slender neck.  My first post about these earrings can be found here.
