I haven't updated my blog much lately - but I took some time out today to make a few pairs of requested earrings for a family friend. She liked a pair of earrings that I had made my mom, so I went on a search to find the same parts again and get her some earrings! I made her three colors, as requested!
While I was out shopping for beads, I saw these earring hooks and had mentioned to my sister that I wanted to try making some "kidney" earrings. The name is because the wire is supposed to be in the shape of the kidney. Well, right out of the package, they didn't look like they were supposed to, I knew I was going to have a little challenge creating them to be the right shape. Here is the before picture:
And after, I created a nice set to match a necklace I made for myself (gasp!). I bought a new brown skirt for my new job and though the necklace would look cute for the fall - and no better time to test out making these earrings than now! Here is my final project :
Oh man, you are going to so fashionable for the fall! Love what you did with the kidney hooks and your matching necklace is beautiful too! Great job Leah!
