Rivoli Earrings

I just finished this pair of earrings, and thought I'd share.  They are made from superduo glass beads and rivoli crystals, and the sparkle and depth are really lovely.  I will be teaching this technique in my March bead-weaving class at Nature's Art.  It's a great little design, and can easily be configured into a bracelet or necklace. Additional embellishments around the edge could turn it into a very special pendant.  Bead-weaving was my first jewelry-making outlet, and I still enjoy watching beaded objects emerge from a simple needle, thread, and my fingers.
