Crane earrings

 Here it is the end of November and this is my first entry! Though I’ve been making cards, I haven’t made many and my time has been taken making these:



These cranes are SMALL and start off with a small, hand cut square of paper. I fold them, wire them up with beads, hand paint a protective glaze with a small paint brush, then add the ear wires. The backing is hand cut as well, and stamped. And there’s a description on the back.  I’ve had three orders this past month for a total of 38 pairs of them…Here are a few more photos of an order I completed:




And here are a few more pics, one with a ruler so you get a better idea the size of these. 


Someday I’ll actually take pics during the “creating” process to document each step but for now….

I’ve also had orders for bird nest necklaces, but that’ll be a blog entry for another day…

Happy last day of November.  Thanks for stopping by…
