Ring-O-Mania
This week is all about ring ,ring ,and only ring....:)
I've been exploring wire-wrapping more and more recently. Most of my attempts have been simple and probably amateurish, but also fun, good practice, and great learning experiences! One of the simplest designs is a wire ring - once you get the hang of the pattern, you can make cute, fun, and/or elegant rings quickly, easily, and with startling variety just by choosing different beads!

Stunning wheel earrings
This week I bought different colors of seed beads from Michael craft stores. I wanted to do something with seed beads and my left over cultured white pearl. Buying seed beads can be a challenge .I often find the sheer volume of choices to be overwhelming and if you ever walked into a well-stocked bead store you will never forget that long wall of brightly colored tubes and the over whelming feeling of having to choose just one. In these gorgeous light weight earrings I am using metallic green seed beads and golden ball seed beads.
