About this design:
Making these for a dear friend that's turning 90, I had to miss her birthday party last night due to snow, but will see her tomorrow. I found a fabulous website with free 3-D beading designs, and decided to scale down from the recommended beads to make these earrings for her. I am on the second one now, I'm trying to decide if I should also add some sort of pearl or turquoise or something above the cross when I put them on the earrings.

seed beads, fishing lineRead the comments (or add your own)

MoonBell says:Thank you, I decided to leave them plain, so she can wear them with anything. I, of course, forgot them at the house today, but I don’t think she’ll mind too much if I get them to her later this week.
