Indigoskye Bead Fashions

I apologize for my webblog being down for the past several weeks. I was hacked and my entire blog was wiped clean. I’m having some trouble re-installing my backup. I’m at a point where I am probably going to have to manually put in earlier posts and simply go forward from this point.

As you can see, my blog is in a new location. No longer is it at the front of my URL. Instead, I’m putting in a true index page, a gallery of my jewelry and a schedule of my jewelry events that I hope will be easier to read.

Years ago, I developed a style of delica earrings that I affectionately called “pompom earrings”.  The fringe pattern was based on the pompom of a knit cap from a standard earring pattern.  Not only did this earring have an unusual fringe, but I also worked on the “innards” to make the interior as sturdy as any of my metal and stone earrings.

My friends asked me to create a tutorial for these earrings that I’ve sold in my booth for years.  This month, I gave my friend Cyndi permission to reprint that tutorial on her blog Bead Arts.  I hope you’ll stop by and take a look at the tutorial.
