Very nice! You did a great job getting these to match. I presume you cut the stones. What size are they?

Makes me want to make some earrings

Seriously, I need to make earrings. Now, if I can just force myself to cab some smaller cabs! LOL!

I'm kind of being forced to go smaller by the cubbies in the dispaly I'm making. These I didn't measure but I sized them down from my smallest template on the wheels. While relatively the same size, they aren't exact. Just measured the stones and they're about 3/4" long. I also made them pretty thin. Weight can be a real issue with earrings! They aren't difficult to make and are really nice to compliment the pendants ... and a great way to use up scraps! The biggest things I watched for were catching in the hair and weight. I kept the wrap really simple and went real small and thin on the stones.

I applaud anyone who can do earrings, I can never seem to get the the same so I avoid them unless I just use beads.

I think I'm scared to. LOL!!! I really need to get over that!

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
