    Quick Project Steps

    Gather up the StormDuos, IrisDuos, Miyuki seed beads, and drops needed. You will use about an arm span long piece of thread and a size 10 needle. Put on five 11/0s and knot the beads into a circle leaving a short tail. Thread through the first bead next to the knot and add one 11/0 and move to the next bead. Keep adding on like this around the circle. Step up through the first bead and get ready to switch to the Herringbone stitch.
    Pick up two 15/0s and go to the next silver bead. Keep adding two at a time and stitch your way around the circle. Keep tension on the thread for the next row of beads to pull the beads into the circle. Continue around the circle. Continue building up with the Herringbone stitch.
    Watch the Lily of the Valley Earrings tutorial with Tereza to see how to add the StormDuos and IrisDuos. Slip the eye pin through the center of the earring to attach your earwire to.

    I don't know why you have the drop-down boxes -- I can see them but can't get to them. I had to use search for everything. Why do you list things that are on sale if they are out of stock? Are they still going to be on sale when they are back in stock?
