My daughter sent me a photo of some earrings she liked, except she wanted them in a teardrop shape. That same day I happened across the exact cutout design on a Steve Good lantern pattern, and he noted that it came from Freepik.com. I couldn’t find it on that massive site, so I sent him a donation for the lantern pattern and lifted it from there. This is the end result, currently undergoing wear testing: ('Scuse the sawdust I missed when I blew them off!)

They look super delicate, but held up well to my sanding and rubbing, so I’m hoping they’ll turn out to be viable!
