Remember those earrings I was working on designing Friday afternoon?

It only took me eight hours total to design, construct, rip apart, redesign, reconstruct, tweak, and yell at until finished.
It's still not perfect, but I've run out of silver headpins, and so this has to wait to be refined until my order from Fire Mountain Gems comes in.
If any one is interested, they were made using sterliing silver head and eyepins (with s/s earwires) and 4mm s/s jump rings, 3 mm freshwater pearls, 2mm silver plated balls, carnelian and lapis lazuli chips, and 4mm round sodalite beads.
I am not completely happy with the final result -- I like the design but the execution could use some work.
