I must admit, I made these before I started the challenge, but today was really stressful and busy. I have been working on a few different designs that just aren't working out. I needed a design to post, so I pulled something old out of my bag of tricks. This one is available in my Etsy shop. http://www.etsy.com/listing/87940328/aura-pendant-earrings
