Day 18 of Challenge 2012 - 365 earrings in 365 days!

Wow!  We had a BUSY day at the shop today and my legs are tired!  It's been several weeks since i've had the chance to put out like that (just checking to see if anybody's reading this) and i'm feeling it!  Whew.  I need a lie-down.

OK.  Today's earrings are inspired by new product samples that one of our vendors had sent to us.  It's basically the "wrapped loop dangle(s)" approach and reminds me of the hammered silver earring from early on, but different beads and elements make this pair unique.

Supplies:
(2) curved tubes in matte silver (NEW finish from Gordon's Nevada)
(2) 6mm Swarovski rounds (blue zircon)
1 foot of 22gauge German style plated copper core wire by Beadsmith
(2) leverback plated ear wires
(2) 4mm plated open rings

Assemble, and Bob's yer uncle Frannie's yer aunt.

Just 347 pairs left to do.  How many pairs have you made?  Check out our earring group on Facebook.  There are some wild earring women on the loose!  You ought to get in on the fun.  Seriously.
