New Earrings (links)

An earring jacket is usually worn with a stud.

That makes me.......an earring jacket!!!!

Great work, Jerri!

I tried that pattern myself, and couldn't get it right. Didn't have
the prescribed materials, which probably made -some- difference, but
mostly I just couldn't be precise enough to get it balanced and
symmetrical.

Yours looks practically perfect in every respect, like Mary Poppins.
Good on you.

Hi all,

I have had company, and have more company coming in on Fri., so I
haven't been around much and have missed a lot stuff on the list. I just
wanted to share a couple of pics:

These are some earrings I tried making from the WAJ magazine:

After I took the photo, I realized the wraps on the left one were a little
crooked, and thank goodness that was easy to fix. This is suppose to be a
beginner's pattern, but I struggled with that middle section! (I think
they
need to have some remdial patterns in their magazine! Some of us are slow
learners.)

Then I tried these earring jackets from a pattern I'd found free on the
internet:

They are huge! With the earring, they are 2 1/2" long. Since I haven't
been invited to the Oscars, I may shorten them. They're just not
something
I'd wear, although I think they're pretty and dressy looking. With each
earring, I just made one first, to see how I liked it. Then I wore one
around all day before deciding if I wanted to make another. Hubby thinks
this one earring thing is a new look.

Thanks Deirdre!

I think I made the loops in that center piece too small, making it a
little difficult to attach the hoops. I want to try again, with bigger
loops, and see if it goes easier.
