Just two pairs of earrings, but a success nevertheless



Two pairs. That’s the answer to the question I asked myself last week, “How many beaded earrings can I make before Saturday?”

That’s only half the pairs I’d hoped to make, but I’m not complaining. To reach my goal, I would’ve had to bead twice as quickly, and beading fast leaves me with nothing but tangled string and little patience.

I made both pairs in the feather shape I’ve used several times before. I had hoped to come up with a new pattern, but, in the interest of getting earrings made in a hurry — I don’t come up with new ideas quickly at all — I stuck with what I know. I just used colors I hadn’t before. One set was pink and white, the other gold and black.

But guess what? Both pairs sold at the festival last weekend! Yay!

I wish I’d taken photos so I could include them here.

I am encouraged by the speed at which they sold, so even though I’ve been trying to come up with a fresh idea, I think I’ll make more of the same earrings. Then I’ll list them at my Etsy store, Beadwork and Woodwinds, to see if site shoppers are as interested in those colors as the festival-goers were.
