New Earrings
About this design:
I had received some gemstone drops from Nancy and made an Amethyst pair and a Lapis pair. The Abalone pair I bought from LB. The last pair was an experiment with Copper blanks and hammering them and alcohol inks. I am not sure I like them.
Components:
Amethyst drops, silver and gold Y connectors, Lapis, Abalone feathers...LB, Green Agate ?, copper blanks, Green Fluorite leaves.Additional Images:
