     Thanks, Laurel for taking the photos. the Squares  and bicones are Swars and the Moons are from BlueMoon Beads. the post and wires are SS.

    I am so glad you are enjoying them.

    ps. Great pictures in spite of the snow.

    Briggs:

     Cat- I definitely need to know who you got your spirals to be so symmetrical! I tried to make earrings like those once... two words - EPIC FAIL! LOL!

     

     Honestly I didn't do anything in particular. I just cut the wire the same length, started wrapping around a dowel rod a little tighter (about a quarter inch in between each wrap), then used a pair of chain nose to pull them out. The toughest part was getting the loops on the bottom to be symmetrical, and mine still aren't perfect but they were close enough.

    Try a few times with copper to get the idea. That's what I did anyway. Good Luck :)

     I totally forgot to take pictures of the ones Mary send me, luckily she send me an e-mail to ask me if I wanted to do it, pictures were a bit dark, cause the sun won't come out these days, but a little enlightment in photo-editing goes a long way. So here goes:
    I love the silver lined red on these...


    These gals are nicely dressed up in 15/0's, these have such great detail!


    Copper, Swarovski and blue frogs.... pretty cool!
    And these are (one of the) extra's she send me, these are sooooo sweet!

    Thanks again Mary, they are little phenomenal works of art!!!  

    -xo-
     Kimmie!

    I bead and bead and bead and bead... And when I am not beading, I am taking pictures of my beadwork, blogging about it, or trying to sell it here and here...
    Please take a look around, and let me know what you think...

     Thanks, for taking the pictures Kimmie. I got the "Green Frogs" in Deming,NM(LBS).I couldn't think ?? how to make them up for you.Ick!..I am glad you weren't offended they were just (2) frogs.

    The Ear wires are SS. and the bicones are Swars.

    I love the look of the copper elements.(I do hope I included the jewelry cleaning cloth for themConfused(can't remember)

    I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed making them for you,

     Yes, the cloth was included! It was such a great package, and the earring are great ( I know, I've said it a dozen times, but I really do). And the froggies... I luv them, even though there are 'just' 2 of them.

    -xo-

    OK, you are definitely a talented bunch of folks! Every time I think there can't be many more new earring designs you show me that I'm wrong. The little moon faces are fantastic, I love Inca's dragonfly, no matter what it will be: an earring, a pin....... Billy's coral, turquoise and shell earrings are beautiful. And Mary, I live your seed stitching, especially the little red squares.

    Inca, I think you did just fine with your wire wrapping.  The dragonfly is adorable (sorry Billy), and I don't think the others are too girlie.  They'd work just as well for necklace pendants as earrings I think.

    Mary, those earrings you make are too cute!  I love my pair of Indians (the boy is *ahem* anatomically correct under his clothes).Surprise

     LOL! ok, secret to "Indian boy & Girl" is out. "They are my "Most requested". One lady orders them in different colors and always "insists on a two bead under the flap"LOL

    The 15/0 make them smaller and I like working with the 15/0 Rounds. Most colors are 15/0 Hex.. Patience! or the thread gets cut.

    Gald you like them Jeni.(don't forget and wear them to church:)

    Thanks, for all the compliments!

    ( someone gave a Minister's wife a pair..She said, she forgot about the flap.Confused )) yep! she wore them to church for a couple yrs before someone told her about the "extra two bead".Yes))

    Maybe I should add a "warning Label"LOL

     Among this group of ladies, nothing surprises me anymore. In fact, I'm not surprised at this at all considering the sources. *grinz* That's why Stan, Dave, and I have to walk the chalk line as it were. *laughz* You never know what is going to get you gals going. At least I know that if 2 beads is all you need to make you happy, then I am in good shape finally. *grinz sheepishly*
