Arula Earrings Variation with Drop Beads

I know that I haven't been posting much lately but it's been one thing after another this spring keeping me from doing much beading. Now I've been under the weather for several days and not feeling like doing much of anything. I took these earring photos a while back and thought I might as well post them today since I don't have anything new to blog about. I did post the earring with the pearls before in my post about the earring drop HERE. I've also blogged about the free Arula Earrings pattern before, HERE and HERE. All three of these earrings were made using my variation of the pattern which uses druks instead of Rulla beads. You can see the original free tutorial HERE.
