Envelope Clutches

I just thought I'd share what I've been up to during my post-Rome winter break. I've been making these envelope clutches from vinyl I bought at a fabric store. I've seen these clutches everywhere but I thought they would be easy enough to do myself. They're actually super easy to make--all I did was tear open an envelope to use as my pattern. After a half hour of sewing and gluing they're complete! I'm going to continue making them but try out different linings and sizes.

I love these earpieces by Anni Jürgenson! I think they are a really innovative way of updating conventional earrings. They're only priced around $35+ but it seems that all the ones I want are sold out. That's why I ordered these great beads from Clbeads' etsy store so that I can make my own earpiece. It should be fairly simple.... except I'm not sure how I'm going to make the actual piece that goes behind the ear yet. Possibly with wire?
