Link Earrings
From the book: “The flexible nature of bead crochet makes this technique ideal for crafting rings to make links. It was difficult to decide at first how to attach these simple circles to an earring finding while maintaining movement. We forced ourselves to think outside of the box and come up with creative solution to our assembly problem. This is just one of many times we needed to use trial and error to achieve a satisfactory final result. If your first idea of how to accomplish your design goal fails, don’t give up! Often, when our imaginations are stretched we reach the best results.”
