Hand made earrings... beadwork

 If you've ever made anything with seed beads you'll know how many hours of work are in these. I've made them for my DIL and know she will love them... She's every bit if not more quirky as me.  😀 Beckah's admired a few of my pairs of quirky earrings and she is a crazy cat lover... they have four so I knew exactly what to add to her Christmas stocking. Now I need to find the hooks so that I can turn them into earrings.  They are a bit bigger than a fifty pence piece.  As with all my photographs, the actual article looks far nicer than the picture. I didn't have any green beads for the eyes and given the size of my bead stash I can't justify buying any more... yet.. 😀

And if you fancy having a go this particular technique is called Brick Stitch and I'm sure that You tube will have some great tutorials.

Edit.. Below is a link to a really simple tutorial.  It's not quite the technique I use for my base row but this one works really well for a beginner
