I had an accident last Sunday evening. A BIG accident too. I knocked over the stand that my earrings hang on. There's a picture below of the rescued and restored stand.
The result of this was that they all fell behind and below a VERY large heavy oak table. I scrambled around underneath and behind and rescued them all except one of a pair which was my very favourite design. So on Monday morning and armed with a torch I managed to find and restore the favourite earring.
Whilst doing that I decided to 'get rid of' my unfavourite ones so the yellow/orange seahorses below HAD to go. I just didn't like their colour or much about them, really.
I decided a re-think needed to happen. First of all I wasn't happy with the tail. The whole seahorse didn't really 'dangle' well so a bit more weight needed to be added to the tail. More beads, I thought! Then there were a few more 'tweaks' required too. Finally I came up with the ones you see at the bottom of this post. I now have to re-draw, and play with the layout before replacing the link on the pattern site. I'll be back when I've done that and after I've made another pair or two or three or four etc!!

Oh I don’t know I kind of like the orange pair. Wish you luck and may you sell out!
The bottom ones look friendlier than the top ones!
I do like your re-worked seahorse earrings!
I like both, but my favorite is the yellow/orange!
I do like the yellow ones, Jane. What I need is the rack!
Glad you rescued everything! I am most amazed to learn that our flashlights in the US are called torches everywhere else!
Very nice seahorses!! :)
If you need the rack for Barbara's collection of tatted earrings, Tim, then they're probably available in Claire's. I got mine from a Claire's here in the UK. You have the stores in America too.
I like the upgraded pattern. they look "more better" he he.
