Note on Construction of Snow Swirls Earrings

(Sorry. I realize the brief note below might not mean much to anyone. But it is a useful reminder for me. But have a look at the photos anyway. It not too hard to figure out.)

Experimental variations of my “capture weave” technique (as used in beaded crosses). When working on the crosses, it looked as if that stitch could adapt itself to create spirals – just by tightening the “backbone” (with a tighter stitch and smaller beads) and by expanding the outer frill (with larger or more beads). And it worked!
