my new earrings
Originally uploaded by wildflowerdesigns

i tube set my first faceted gems in a pair of earrings.
i am really excited about all of the possibilities this opens up.
i was rather nervous, but had read great advice from my fellow metalsmiths on the etsymetal forums.
i have to admit that i would not be where i am now without the advice, talent, and encouragement of my online friends.
