Blood Red & Peace......Earrings that is......

I was asked to put together a few red earrings by Margie and Jeanne up at the Cancer Center and came up with a few different styles for them to think about.  I picked up theses Ruby Quartz beads at the bead show last weekend.  The color is just stunning and it's difficult to tell, but they have the most amazing shimmer.  Add a little hammered silver and they are just perfect! The turquoise peace earrings are just to cool! Can't wait to wear them with my jeans and boots! I'll have lot's of handcrafted jewelry at 1st Friday at Trimtex in Willamsport...stop in and check things out!
