Tutorial 27 - Indian Earrings

One tutorial with 2 pairs of earrings. The technique that is used for both pairs is roughly the same, but I could not resist showing you both varieties. And much more different designs are possible, but I will leave that to your own imagination, or else this would be a very long tutorial. You can keep playing with this technique, and it is so much fun!!
