Happy New Year!

Yet another year! Here's a hope that this year will find you and me in the best of spirits, and of health, may it bring us happiness, more reasons for laughter, more beauty in our lives. May it find all our wishes coming true, all our dreams being fulfilled. May it fill our lives with good things, and good people. Happy New Year!!

When I thought of the new year, the color white came to my mind. Because, I guess, white reminds me of happy things - of freshly fallen snow, of pearls, of the scent of jasmine, of brides, of pebbles and sandy beaches. So here's something in white to start the new year with. 

Supplies required (for each earring):

White glass beads - 6

White or colorless seed beads - 7

Beading wire

Ear wire - 1

Eye pins - 2

Take four white beads(WB) and three seed beads(SB). Loop the wire through the beads in the following order: WB,SB,WB,SB,WB,WB,SB. Now loop the wire in again through the first four beads, pull the wire tight, and once securely in place, cut the loose ends off. Loop one end of an eye pin through the space left between the two WBs in the arrangement.Insert a seed bead, a white bead and a seed bead through the eye pin and loop the end. Insert another eye pin through this loop and insert two seed beads and a white bead as earlier. Loop the end of the eye pin through an ear wire. I guess I have made it as confusing as possible, but the picture should help you understand the arrangement of the beads. :-)
