If you have ever wished you had a pair of earrings the perfect color to match an outfit, wanted to create a one of a kind gift for someone, or have beautiful jewelry to sell at a craft fair then this class is for you! I will take you step by step on how to transform your own hand painted watercolor art into beautiful earrings. Feel free to choose your own favorite colors and create your own painting composition that will make your watercolor art earrings uniquely your own artistic expression.
