What was your inspiration?

the blue and white earrings

What are you most proud of?

that I completed them even after I knew I had messed up the pattern ie it is simalier but not exact-for not having a pattern or someone to say do it this way, I think I did ok for the first ones. Next time though I will not use real silver to make something I have not made before as wow.. lol

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

as always take your time, have fun with it, and know that even though you make mistakes you are learning because when you can look at your work and notice things which you know are inccorrect the next ones you make will be all that much better. Anything worth doing takes time and effort and lots of practice- :)
