From the book:
“Because the nature of the chain stitch method is light and airy, it was difficult to design earrings that would have enough weight to dangle properly. The addition of the focal beads to the bottom of each strand helped solve this challenge. These earrings make a wonderful gift because they are quick and easy to make. With the right bead choice, they can also look very impressive.”
