Black Panther Earrings

I woke up this morning with a great desire to make the earrings that complement the Black Panther Necklace I posted about a few days ago...

 
These Black Panther Earrings were so much fun to make, my first pair of beadembroidered earrings!!! I think I did alright! :-D I'm really pleased with the result.  Usually I don't like making two of the same of anything but with beadembroidery I don't seem to mind... I'm going to try and make some more beadembroidered earrings.... on my to do list, with all the other stuff that's on it! :-)

I still have one beadembroidered Labradorite cabochon which I was thinking of using to make a bracelet .... but I'm yet to decide how to tackle the wristband part.... the wheels are still churning.... however slowly :-) I hope by next week I'll have something whipped up!!! :-) if not it may become a pendant! :-) come back and check it out! :-)
