Mismatched Brass Elephant Earrings
About this design:
I love making critter earrings! The elephants came from Michael's and the brass from lima beads. I had a hard time putting 2 different elephants together( mismatched earrings are out of my comfort zone)! Anyways, just looking for opinions!
Components:
2 different brass elephants, 2 vintaj figure 8 connectors, 4 4mm brass jumprings, fish-hook earwires.Read the comments (or add your own)
Add your thoughts!

Stingray says:Looks good in brass. If you want to go the extra mile, you could replace the spring and 3mm on the earwire above the brass-only elephant with a 4 to 6mm black bead.
