These unique earrings are made with standard scrabble tile game pieces. The images are are altered digitally and printed on high quality paper. The image is then attached to the smooth side of a scrabble tile. The image is then sprayed with a protective coating, and then a thick protective glaze is applied.

 

The sides of the tile are hand painted to give it a 'framed' look.

 

The bail on this pair is glued onto the top of the tile.

 

The back of the earrings are random scrabble tile letters, and are not altered.  They will have some glue on the back where the bail was attached.
