Video Tutorial - Earrings with waxed linen cord

Hi there,
Another video tutorial by me. This time on how you can use waxed linen cording when making earrings (or other jewelry pieces). Referring to a couple of earrings that I showed you in the post before this one. This video tutorial is much shorter than the last one I did (on beaded beads), and I have placed the camera closer to my hands. So I hope I am slowly getting there becoming a better tutor :-).



Please let me know if you have any questions, or if something is unclear.

Oh, and the ending of the vides does come a little bit abruptly, simply because the camera ran out of space. So here's an image just to show where I placed the knot on the Boat Link earrings:




All my best,

3 new pairs of Earrings

I have had a great time creating these three pairs of earrings. Using fantastic/stunning components by a few of my favorite Art Bead makers. And also coming up with some, for me, new designs or ways of assembling. I really like to use waxed linen cording together with ceramic and metal components in earrings (or any jewelry for that matter). And I've been longing to make tassel earrings for a long time. It worked so well with MissFickleMedia's thin patinated chains.

These 3 new earrings are now for sale in my Etsy Shop.
