An Evening in the Forbidden Garden

I've recently added these delectable earrings to my website. I loved making these earrings and may just have to make a pair for myself. I rarely use copper as a medium, but these earrings were screaming for copper.
Any other metal would not have given them the true beauty of Victorian and forbidden they deserve.
They look large but dangle a mere 1.5 inches from the base of the ear wires.

These can be purchased from my website for $15.00 with free US shipping and $5.00 International shipping.

Experiments can be fun!

While putting together jumprings to make a cross pendant, I realized I was using the wrong size ID to achieve my goal. I did however come up with these adorable cross earrings.

I want to give credit to Candy Degel for the Celtic Cross Tutorial which lead me to make these earrings.

Candy is a wonderful lady who deserves much credit.

If you would like to purchase her Celtic Cross Tutorial or one of her beautifully made pendants they are all on sale in her ArtFire shop.

So, my suggestion today is -play-experiment-you never know where it will take you.

And please visit Candy's shop, you'll be amazed at the work she does.

Thanks Candy, I'm now confident enough to experiment.

1600 FaceBook Fans Giveaway

Well, here is the final piece as a thank you to all my wonderful fans/friends who've typed this journey with me.

I can never begin to express the amount of my gratitude to all of you. If it were within my power everyone one of you - my fantastic friends would get surprises everyday! You are that wonderful and important to me.

So, want the details about the earrings?

They are called Threaders.  Mainly because the small chain threads through your ears, taking the place of earrings. I love wearing them because they look so delicate and stylish.

This particular type of Threader allows you to determine which length you want your earrings to dangle.

The Threaders are Sterling Silver and the dainty little bling at the bottom is Swarovski Crystal.

Once again, please let me thank YOU, the wonderful FaceBook fans and friends who have suggested my page to all you know and promoted my work to others. You are helping me to achieve a dream.
