new FREE pattern: Starburst Earrings

Easy earrings made from seed beads, two-hole SuperDuo beads and the new Rizo beads (like SuperDuo beads but slightly longer with only one hole). There's a downloadable PDF at the bottom of the Starburst Earrings pattern page.

You can also find links to the exact beads used on this Starburst Earrings pattern page. I got my Rizos, as well as the SuperDuos beads, from RedPandaBeads.com.

New pattern uploaded: Tuscan Drop Earrings

I was playing around with my Tuscan Earring design and found that these earrings looked even prettier with a drop. This pattern is fully illustrated with detailed step-by-step instructions for two drop versions: one with pearls in each corner (at right) and another with pearls in the center (at left). I used Swarovski #5500 9x6 pear drops but any drop bead will work.The Tuscan Drop Earrings pattern, $3.25, is available at my website, AroundTheBeadingTable.com and Bead-patterns.com:
