Back into Jewelry Making

Here are a few pieces I ended up making for some co-workers as end of the year presents. I never took a formal jewelry making class, which could account for the fact that I got really frustrated while making these earrings. I couldn't figure out how to connect some of the pieces together. I had seen some great designs on the fusion beads website and I was trying to copy them, but I could not figure it out. I think I will eventually have to take some classes just to learn the proper technique. I thought some of them came out really cute, if I do say so myself!
