Love these!

I loved making these earrings. The instructions were clear. The only problem I had was when I first attached the wire I would end up wrapping it around the foundation wire in the 'wrong' direction which then determines which direction you wrap, from that point forward. I prefer wrapping clockwise and I would end up wrapping counter clockwise. Oh well. They still came out great. I've made two pairs so far. The first pair was using rose colored wire and silver balls. Lets just say they were too bright for me but my friend loved them. My favorite so far was using gold wire and 3mm silver balls instead of the 2.5 mm suggested and they 'pop' more. ( 16 per earring instead of 25). As a result I wear these earrings a lot because they go with anything! The design is interesting enough to catch your eye but won't detract from what you're wearing. Generally I tend to wear longer/larger earrings but these are actually a perfect size. Thx for the design!
