Inspired by Elaine Carstairs’ brilliant yarn-on-wire artwork, these beaded, crocheted earrings are a unique and stylish mixed-media delight! Their shape mimics the ascending spirals of a rising hawk, and 10% of the designer’s proceeds from this pattern will be donated to hawk conservation efforts. To learn how you can aid the conservation of hawks, eagles, falcons, and other raptors, please visit www.rspb.org.uk and www.hawkwatch.org.
