My machine is in the shop for regular maintenance which frees me up to go to class @ The Brain Injury Association. Today was jewelry making day (As well as prepping to make our own moccasins, which I also did) & we had two choices of earrings & bracelets & I liked these two. The needle to go into the elastic & then the tiny holes in the sterling silver bits was paper thin but still a challenge for me to work with tiny bits. I am pleased with the outcome of both & am trying to decide whether to keep them for myself or give them as a gift. The earrings have sterling silver feathers & same as all the bits the crystal is Swavarski & the stones are hematite. Believe it or not it took me 3.5 hours to make these.

They are lovely .

Leaha that it is lol you have to put the stick into the bottom of the black pc then into the crystal then into the black pc @ the top so it was a challenge & I did a when hew when I did it lol. ~hugs~

Working with those tiny parts would be a big challenge- I think they are beautiful and a reminder of just how far you have come. Since the short term memory is often affected with brain injuries, you may forget many of the classes you have taken so I would encourage you to take a photo of this completed project. If you like the items I would hope you would keep them and treasure them. Great Work! Pam
