Hello Everyone!
While I'm waiting for spring to really get sprung in Alaska, I've been doing a lot of earrings. I'm working on a pattern set for sale of sweets inspired earrings. I made this pair http://shala.auriplane.net/patterns/cookie_earrings.jpg and liked the way the chains and jump rings looked, so I designed another pair using the same technique and wrote this week's article on it.

Here's the latest article from the Beadwork site at BellaOnline.com.
