Lookie!! What I made this weekend!
I took a class at my local bead store. I think I’ll have to practice a bit more, but this is so much fun. I used 20 gauge sterling silver wire and 3mm and 6mm crystals. I pretty much freeformed the design as I went along - at first I thought it looked a bit “wonky” since my style is very much structured and clean and straight lines and all - but after wearing it and getting used to it for awhile, it’s really growing on me.
I’m so proud of it, I’m wearing it all day today (and even as I type right now). =)
Can’t wait to make more.

Oh that’s beautiful! And who’d have thought. I’d like to try that sometime. I like rings and such. If I can make earrings I can do hand rings too. Very inspiring!! Thank you.
