Earrings are simple and quick to make, and they
are so instantly gratifying that you could easily create an entire
collection without spending too much time or money. This how-to
guide features beginner to advanced projects—drops, hoops, chandeliers—made
with a variety of popular beads and a potpourri of beading methods.
Using basic stringing, wirework, peyote stitch, netting, right-angle
weave, edging variations, and a whole host of other techniques,
you'll not only stretch your skill level, you'll come away with
earrings so beautiful the compliments won't stop! The spectacular
projects, all created by prominent designers, include simple drops
featuring sparkling vintage beads, flashy fringe inspired by the
1970s, freeform doodles evoking a modernist painting, and delicate
crosses made with Russian techniques. There are tasteful tassels,
eye-catching beaded crystal balls, fun lampworked dangles, retro
wire-wrapped resin, elegant turquoise drops, and many more!
