So in between other things I decided I really, really 'needed' more earrings!!!
While I was doing a pair for myself (the bottom ones) I decided to make a pair for my friend. She should really have been born a magpie as she loves anything that glitters. I made hers slightly shorter as she doesn't 'suit' very long ones.
They're made with a fine polyester sewing weight thread (doubled up) and then with a Madeira glittery one added too. Neither scan does them justice!!! The main beads are Swarovski crystals although the round ones on the top pair are glassy beads.
Oh, the pattern I used is this one from two years ago.
