12.6-19.8.12 Vine / Bacchus Earrings by Maggie Meister



It took two months to bring myself complete these Vine earrings, but this is finally done.
The instructions can be found in Maggie Meister's Classical Elegance, pp.24-29.
The leaf design is wonderful!
I made a slight modification in the last part of the leaf instructions and had to unpick the 2nd grape to make one that will look similar enough to the 1st one. The grape freeform part wasn't so fun for me.
The colors I chose were a compromise since I didn't have in my stash reddish drop beads nor gold Delicas. Maybe this is why it took me so long to finish. Not my favorite combo.
