  We
call this jewelry making project "Fun Earrings". These earrings were
given this name by Jessica Garrison at the Tucson bead show. Her
comment when first seeing these earrings was "Those are fun", hence the
name.
This is a quick, delicate earring project that can be made with 8
inches of 20 gauge 1/2 hard round wire and three 4mm beads or two 4mm
beads and one 6mm bead. These earrings use a post style of
connection and therefore require an ear clutch to hold the earrings on.
The earrings are approximately 1 1/8" tall. The pictures shown here
are slightly larger
 than
the actual earrings.
We also discuss two alternative designs for these earrings including
the design show at right.
