MAGICAL "FAIRY CHARM EARRINGS"...will be sure to bring you a magical feeling!

(click on the title above to learn more about them)



Wear these little beauties and feel the magic!!  The tiny fairies will dance and twirl as you wear them!  Light and airy as a fairy!

If you are looking for a bit of fun and fancy to perk up any outfit...give these earrings a try.  I designed the handknit "focal" beads using a beautiful satin finish ribbon yarn.  Creating these free form knit beads takes me about 2 hours, as they are shaped by using a clear 4# test fishing line, which can't be seen in the completed beads.

One of these days when I have more time, I will do a tutorial to show how the beads start out and end up in various shapes such as the ones above.  It is a technique I just recently taught myself.   It does take a bit of time to create each bead, but I have found it fun to see how they look when completed.  Adding Swarovski crystals and recently charms, has added to their magical look and sparkle!

Great gift ideas...either for yourself or someone special.  No two will ever look exactly the same.
