Thanks again Cat, I'm so glad you do!

Inca, the ones you made are so cute!  I guess we were both thinking in blues this time.

 Yes Inca I forgot to mention that the first time I posted, the ones you made Pat are cute. I like those

Also I wanted to mention that maybe you should edit the title of this to REVEAL Secret Santas Ear Round 2 cause I think people might be missing it. I know when I logged on I saw two postings that said the same thing, I figured it out obviously but it might be easier for people to catch that this thread is the reveal and not just more postings to the original thread. Just a thought.

 Ohhhh Inca, those are pretty! And such a fun shape. Cat-- I like what Jeni sent you too! I especially like the little wire flourish the pearls attach to. Never thought of doing that!

Here is what I made for Pam..... prehnite ovals with 3 carnellian faceted briollets on chains below. (gotta make a pair for me....)

Lois, THANK YOU!!!  I took another picture of these...I love these, the combination of carnelian and prehnite is perfect:

Then Sue made me a pair with copper disks and green and orange crystals, THANK YOU SUE, I love these too!  You got my colors right too and the copper does go very well with my hair:

And Sue also sent me an extra pair, again, THANK YOU SUE!  The pink in these is just the right shade, sweet! 

I definitely feel spoiled!  I wound up getting all these because Inca just loves me    and gave my name to both Lois and Sue... Thank you for the great earrings Lois Thank you for the great earrings Sue and thank you Inca for running the earring swaps , you do a really good job

These are the ones I made for Sherri.  I've been playing with how to make things interchangeable and what I did was make her initials (I couldn't resist doing this...) on the earwires so that she can change the different danglies, or any other for that matter, as she chooses.  The ones on the earwires are amethyst and  cz crystals, the next are amethyst heishe, and the middle ones are lepidolite.  I make two bigger S danglies that she can use to make whatever she wants, just for fun.  Enjoy Sherri!

Jeni, beautiful work!!!!  I like the wirework in the earrings you made for Cat too Jeni, it's the perfect accent for both the pearls and the shell. 

Inca, those earrings are amazing!  Great job weaving!!! 

Both of your pairs of earrings are absolutely gorgeous and great colors!

I don't know what happened but I also was given Pam's name as my target. Guess Pam came out the big winner this time LOL.

Here is the swap pair. They are the pair with the mystery components from Bass Pro.The copper disk is what I bought at Bass Pro in the fishing department.

This is an extra pair I made and sent along with the pair for the swap.

Inca, thanks for posting the picture since I have not had a chance to get one yet. I really love the color of them.

I only got a picture of the first pair I made and accidentally sent to Donna. When I remade them I changed the beads to a different blue.

Sweet Inca!  You're not the only one who has a hard time getting good pictures....this gives me a really good idea what they look like in any case and I bet they are gorgeous in person!

 WOW Sue! What a perfect brass dangle.... gonna have to get me some of these..... they're so pretty.

ALL the pieces are lovely! I like the chainmaile chadilears, so different, and look like lots of fun to wear

Pam, the "S" earwires are such fun! and all the dangles are so pretty. Can't wait to see what Sherri does with the "s" charms too.... can just see them loaded with bead dangles as a necklace, or used as the clasp on a bracelet... lots of options!

Inca, your earrings look so pretty! I might have to get some of those beads... they do look like they really shine....
