I love making presents.
What could be better than having an idea for a gift especially for someone you love, and being the single person in the whole wide world to make it come into existence.
These are for my most favourite 10-year-old in the universe. I should probably wait until after Christmas day to share these photographs, but I’m pretty darn sure that the recipient doesn’t read my blog. Plus, I’m a bit excited about them.

This is her first Christmas having pierced ears, so I hope she likes these. Naturally she can’t wear them to school, but I envisage her wearing them to friends’ parties and such.
I thought about making her hook earrings, instead of studs; but she’s very active and hooks are more easily misplaced than studs.
They’re made with purple banded agate beads, fine silver and some sterling silver components.
And then I totally outdid myself in spectacularity (it’s a word now) by making my card into a little stand for them. I know.
