Keyboard Earrings

I was in Michael's the other day and decided to pick up some earring hooks. I thought these 2 sets of keyboard keys would make great dangles. The hooks are rhodium plated, which I thought was a beautiful color to go with the black & white of the keys. The pictures really do not do them justice.

I had a hard time deciding how to position the PC logos. The thing about keyboard keys is they have a slight tilt to them, so the top edge is slightly lower than the bottom edge. Because these keys were turned sideways, I could have faced them the same way. The logo would have been in the same spot, but I wanted the edge closer to the face to be smaller than the outside edge. So one of them was turned upside down. I think it gives a really neat effect!



I only have 1 set of keys (from a co-workers broken keyboard) and I had wanted to do the up and down arrows as earrings. Unfortunately I've already made them with the necklace hooks, so that was out of the question. So, instead, I used the Page Up and Page Down keys and I think they look even better!
