This is one of the earrings shown in The Earring Style Book. The differnce between mine and the author's styles is I left off the little dangles she had on them.

These are an intermediate task and are wonderful to wear.

New styles of earrings for me.

I may wear jeans and T-shirts most of the time, but I am not "dressed" until I have on my jewelry! Earrings being my mainsay.

I have been making several new styles and love them. They are swingy and fun.

I recently bought The Earring Style Book by Stephanie A. Wells. It shows several basic frames for earrings and ways to decorate these frames. Of course, you can use your imagination and decorate them any way you want.

This is a great "idea" book. I would suggest you make a few of her designs - just to get the hang of it then branch out on your own with your ideas. I think you will find these to be a lot of fun.

Time to get serious!

What can I say - I haven't been a very good blogger!

I started this blog several years ago to share pictures of jewelry, ideas, techniques, designs, and anything else I could find regarding jewelry making. I've heard it said that if you didn't get "it" done in the past, how is a great time to start. So here goes!!!!!

I am aiming for 1 blog per week with either new photos of my work or if you'd like to share your work, I'd love to feature you.

I will do my best to find new ideas, techniques, and even share failures. I will share what works for me and what doesn't.

If you have questions or just comments or critiques, please leave a comment.

So here goes.......
