My machine is in the shop for regular maintenance which frees me up to go to class @ The Brain Injury Association. Today was jewelry making day (As well as prepping to make our own moccasins, which I also did) & we had two choices of earrings & bracelets & I liked these two. The needle to go into the elastic & then the tiny holes in the sterling silver bits was paper thin but still a challenge for me to work with tiny bits. I am pleased with the outcome of both & am trying to decide whether to keep them for myself or give them as a gift. The earrings have sterling silver feathers & same as all the bits the crystal is Swavarski & the stones are hematite. Believe it or not it took me 3.5 hours to make these.
