The Badu earrings are an early study of the versatility of beads. Testing the different

ways I can utilize and finding the limitations of their use. Ethnic in design, pulling into

them my Filipino heritage and drawing in some African tribe influences. Handmade with

Japanese glass delica seed beads and gold filled metal findings and components. They

measure approximately 3 3⁄4 inches in length and 1 1⁄4 inches in width.
