I really want to sell these! They're very pretty and I feel confident in the quality of each set. I used a gold foil, alcohol ink, and purple foil, respectively. It's been a while since I felt like making earrings so it's fun to get something done. I now have so many earrings around the house that I have zero room to store them. The cool thing is that I will always be able to find a pair of earrings to wear 😅 ************** Fini.
