And… yep, you guessed it. More swirls. 🙂
This is a design I’ve been playing with for several years. In the video I teach a very basic version of it, but at the end there are some photos of other rings I have made using this base design as a starting point to give you some more inspiration. Hope you enjoy it.
This has been one of my favorite ear cuff designs for a very long time, so I decided to do a video for it. In this lesson I’m showing only the basic design, but there are lots of ways to change it up a bit and make it your own. Just use your imagination and have fun with it. 🙂

It’s finally ready. This is the longest video I’ve ever done, and I probably will never do one this long again (it’s almost 2 hours long).
Not the greatest video quality. My recording set up is still a work in progress.
I’m also trying to work on getting more comfortable speaking on videos. So if I sound a little flaky at times, that’s why. I’ve never been good at talking for more than a few seconds at a time. Hopefully you guys can ignore all that stuff for now. 🙂
