Here is the new design I mentioned... I've been making earrings using an old New York State map. My mom had the map and it was pretty beat, she was going to throw it out but I knew I could make some interesting earrings out of it. There are so many colors and designs on the map, they're so much fun! I made a few different shapes...

Here is a new (old) design I'm working with. I'm sure you're familiar with it, a peace sign... I originally got a special request from Earth and Wears to make a pair of these. I was so happy with the end result that I decided to add it to my line. I'm anxious to see how people react to them this weekend. I used a diet pepsi can for this pair...
