About this design:
Found these ear findings @ Michael's and have a gal I work with that likes a Celtic and Gothic type look so I threw these together for her. Got everything from either Michael's or a Hobby Lobby store. She will get them tomorrow.

Chippy Chick aka Lindys says:Chickie ChaCha, these are soooooooo great! I’ll have to stop at Michael’s on my way to work tomorrow to find the earring connectors! My great niece is into Goth and we are visiting the family in NC next week. Gotta get these to make her some earrings!

Chicky ChaCha says:Thanks so much gals! Chippy–I think the ear finding is a brand called Black Lace. I got mostly everything @ Michael’s but the black nickel ear lever backs and head pins I got @ Hobby Lobby. Not sure but I just think I forgot to look at Michael’s. Please post your niece’s gift if you have time.
