Whimsical Herringbone Flower Earrings

The problem:

I loved these earrings, but the deep purple finish on the size 11 beads wore off.

The inspiration:

I pulled these socks on, and thought the color combination needed to make its way into my jewelry box.

The solution:

The pattern is "Whimsical Herringbone Flowers" by Bonnie O'Donnell-Painter, from the October 2006 issue of Bead & Button.
