I have been so busy….I havent been able to post in the FSOJ, but plan on starting again next week.

These are commissioned pieces that I had only 3 days to make.
I am especially happy with the ring…it was my first attempt at creating this style on my own without purchasing the base. I’m so happy it came out ROUND!!
I used 14g wire and a 7mm jump ring, and weaved the jump ring with 26 gauge wire so I could attach the crystals and silver beads. I was stressing because it is a tiny size 5, and that made it harder to achieve the look.

With Thanksgiving being my holiday, I barely had time to make anything. My mom is visiting for the first time in 5 years, and wanted me to make some fun earrings, which are usually my favorite to make….well, they took a little longer than expected and it has been really windy here for photographing outside….bla bla…here they are:)

Well, Ive been so busy with the Kiddos Halloween partys, I have 3 commissions Ive been working on, and I have a big show on Sunday.
I missed week 5, so here is week six:)

I thought I would make some earrings, which are usually the best sellers at shows. *fingers crossed* I have never done this show, but it does have a wine tasting, which if you know me, is right up my alley!!
If anyone can give me some advise on rubber thimbles, or such, I would appreciate it, my fingers are soooo raw!!

These are the second pair I have made using this technique and while I love the look of these earrings, man they make my fingers sore! I have to look into getting some finger guards.:)
