These earrings/pendant were creates while designing my Pretty Picot Poinsettia Snowflake. I thought the center of the snowflake made an adorable small snowflake all on its own and thought that it would make an adorable jewelery set.
ETA: I'm sorry about the bad photo, it's all that I have right now. At the time, all that I had was the camera on my cell phone and the earrings were a gift that I made for someone.
I recently got a "real" digital camera and as soon as I make up a new pair, I will update this photo.
Thanks

coolhockeymom at Crochetville [1] had a wonderful idea for these snowflakes, make festive stitch markers out of them! use either the kidney earwires or the large lobsterclaw clasps attached to the jumpring to put on your crochet stitches!!!
