Sharon, I was waiting for you to respond! I knew you like to carve small. All the metal parts for the ear rings came from a shop that sells glass beads and all sorts of the materials for ear rings, bracelets, necklaces. The ear wires are surgical Steel and are $1.50 for 20. The screw eyes are not really screw eyes, but are eye pins, and are pushed into the wood ear rings. The eye pins are silver plated and are $1.00 for 25. Let me know if you can't find any, I'll get them for you. Tom H

Hi, I made ear rings when I sold to craft stores, and bought most of my supplies from Wal Mart. Ear rings are Real popular, but my fingers arn't as nimble as they used to be, and I found other things to work on. Grin.

Thanks for the info. My friend does a lot of jewelry, I bet she knows where I can get the goods!
Now.....about more time......

And I thought I was doing good carving out tiny spoons for ear rings. (shrugs)

Nice work, Tom. Can I borrow your magnifying glass?

Yooooo, Tom I love the earrings, but as far as a challenge for me at least I'd loose all my fingers on that project. Sooooo I'll pass! LOL
