"Spring" The third piece in "What a Princess Wears"

I feel so honored to have been selected to compete in the Internationally renowned artists competition "Battle Of The Beadsmith-Earrings".  

In my Japanese garden stands a pagoda. The pagoda symbolizes the path to heightened awareness and perception. It is the most auspicious symbol, Filled with wisdom, peace and harmony. This is my artistic interpretation of the pagoda as earrings in winter and
summer.
After creating a 3D printed pagoda, I used bead embroidery techniques to create the earrings. The pagoda sits on top of the ear and is completely bead embroidered. The roof incorporates superduos, Miyuki seed beads, bugle beeds, and Austrian crystals. On the side of the pagoda, a tendril of cherry blossoms hang. The part of the earring that hangs from the earlobe has superduos, Austrian crystals, genuine vintage pearls, Miyuki seed beads, vintage drops, cup chain, and vintage Filigree.
