Big earring doesn’t want you to know you can just put a fishhook in anything

⬥ Caoimhe

I don’t wear jewellery much but I still have an occasional hobby of making my own earrings and I just enjoy a good kitschy earring in general.

Here’s some things I have stuck a fishhook in:

An S.D. card with a Raspberry Pi logo.
It has Raspbian and a bunch of Mega Drive games on it.
A bottle opener.
Good for parties.
A small jar with a cork stopper filled with blue, pink and white glitter.
Made with foil from a nail art kit.
Another jar filled with gold glitter.
Ditto.
A worm on a string.
Dangerous to wear around my cat.
A small yale lock.
This one is too heavy to actually wear. The lock is still fully intact though so I can just take it out of the fishhook if I need it for anything.
A cat bell.
A bit too loud directly next to my ear.
A mini CD labelled “Verbiage” with “Windows XP Legit” written on it with marker.
Originally a keychain.
An obsidian arrowhead.
Originally a necklace whose chain broke.

Some other earrings that I didn’t make but felt like showing off.

Lego bricks in a rainbow pattern.
That’s gay.
Klein bottles.
From Acme Klein Bottle.
Two pairs of earrings: Studs with a strawberry design and fishhooks with blue translucent hearts.
My Celeste earrings.
A chain of marbles on a fishhook representing the planets in the solar system with a second fishhook with just a single red and yellow marble on it representing the sun.
The solar system. This is two heavy to wear for more than a few hours. I briefly had the notion of a project of making something like this but with balls made of or plated with the planetary metal associated with each celestial body in alchemy, but then I remembered what the name of the first planet from the Sun is.
A miniature model of a bag of “pink potato chips”.
I don’t know what these snacks actually are but I will try them if I ever see them.
A fuzzy white cat head.
Looks familiar.
