earrings.

i spent about two hours today trying to make fancy earrings for my mom's birthday present. it wasn't working out so i settled on easy instead of fancy and about 10 minutes later i had made these:

they're simple but pretty and i think she'll like them since she kind of likes anything i make, like the time in third grade that i made this painted clay rendition of a fish that so totally did not look like a fish but nonetheless is still being displayed in the dining room at my parents' house because my mom thinks it's great. even though every time i visit them i'm like, what is that still doing here? there's no accounting for taste. so she should like the earrings.

and the above picture isn't great, but it does underscore our need for a new camera and a new dining room table and maybe a new photographer.
