Granddaughter L and I had our ears pierced shortly before we left Vermont on our mission (mine had been pierced when I was in college, let to heal over, pierced years ago, let to heal over, etc I decided it was time to become serious about earrings because most women look fabulous in earrings. Especially dangling ones.) When in Utah with Granddaughter A, we went to the Michaels store and purchased a small earring tool kit and made some earrings together. (This sounds like something I might have mentioned before, but I will carry on...). Anyway, I brought the tool kit to Oregon with me thinking I might make more earrings.
A few days ago I was ready for some new earrings. This is what I made:
Friend Tammy sported some gorgeous teardrop earrings years ago. I have been wanting some myself ever since. Finally I found a string of beads at Michaels which had several of the teardrop-shaped beads so I made them.
The strange black/gray shiny beads came from a glasses holder that I tried out but which drove me nuts because I could see the beads hanging down at the corners of my vision. They just did not work holding my glasses in place. (I had been taking off my glasses to see the computer screen but then could not find them because some paper or other had covered them up. When I wanted to see the sisters across the room I needed the glasses so I was always scrambling to find them, thus the glasses holder. I tried two different ones. Neither worked. Now I just stick my glasses in the front of my shirt. Of course now my hand is always touching the glasses so they are smeary all the time...Oh well.)
Anyway, that is the second pair of earrings, and those beads work much better as earrings.
The third pair is sort of a bird wings/wings to fly sort of thing. Rather inept, but still, I do wear them.
