Native American Fringe Earrings - Teal & Bronze

• 8/0 seed beads Miyuki "Light Bronze" (457L)
• 11/0 Miyuki Delica beads "Metallic Light Bronze" (DB22L)
• 11/0 Miyuki Delica beads "Matte Galvanized Meade" (DB1163)
• 11/0 Miyuki Delica beads "Opaque Luster Newsprint" (DB261)
• 11/0 Miyuki Delica beads "Duracoat Dyed Opaque Eucalyptus" (DB2131)

I previously blogged HERE about the long earring in the center of the photo below. I love the design and colors but I'm not comfortable wearing such long earrings. I'd been wanting to come up with a shorter version that I like as well as the long one and I finally had a chance to do that. Although the design isn't exactly the same, it's close enough to make me happy. I made the top section a little narrower and the fringe a whole lot shorter. 

Because I put so many hours into making the longer earring, I probably won't take it apart. I will keep it and maybe one day I will be brave enough to make the second earring and wear them.

You can buy Delica beads at Red Panda, Aura Crystals, Supply Emporium and Jill Wiseman Designs.

RUSSIAN LEAF EARRINGS

• 11/0 Miyuki Delica beads "Duracoat Gold" (DB1832)

• 8/0 seed beads Miyuki "Duracoat Gold" (4202)

 

   
I made these earrings to go with a "Lizbeth Band" bracelet below that I blogged about HERE. Download the free bracelet pattern from THIS post.

To learn how to make "Russian Leaf Earrings", watch Jill Wiseman's YouTube video tutorial HERE and download her free PDF HERE. You will need to follow Jill's tutorial but make them with seven rows instead of nine as Jill instructs. Download my free earring color chart for this design from THIS post. It's not a tutorial for making Russian Leaf earrings so you will still need to follow Jill's tutorial if you don't already know how to make them. My color chart describes when to pick up each bead color to make the design on these earrings.
