Cloud mania in the middle of the summer

Do you remember what I told you before about the bird obsession flooded the handmade market Etsy couple of months ago?
Haha, a new star is coming to the town! - Clouds!
If you don't believe me just go to Etsy-jewelry and type "clouds". You will be up-ended by millions of " visible mass of droplets ... suspended in the atmosphere" hanging there!
Now the best of the best - one-of-a-kind multimedia pieces. Every single one shown here has a unique character, and an original designer specific look:

Don't you want a cloud on your ears already?:))

There are several classical ways to make a cloud in the jewelry world: to wrap wire in coils with or without soldering, cut the cloud shape from a metal sheet or make it with metal polymer clay. I could not resist the possibility to show you some really sweet examples:

However, the most popular way to make a cloud jewelry is to buy a cloud charm/link/focal component, for example here, then to add some cute embellishments (or not) and sell. Although I absolutely love some of the designers' interpretations this way is less beneficial for them, since there can be so many repetitions:

Well,the trend is obvious!
Now it is up to you to decide, if it's gonna rain today;)
