A New Earring Design!

I don’t know about you, but at this time of the year I really don’t have time to devote to projects that require weeks to complete, especially if some of the projects are destined to become gifts. I’ve been a huge proponent of beaded earrings not only because I love...

Just out of the tumbler!
