Tammy Powley at about.com posted this nice fall tutorial on making golden leaf earrings. As always, she give excellent detailed and clear instructions on how to create this look.
I like the leaves. They are something that I might have skimmed over in a bead catalogue but she has caught a great look for this season.
I might spice them up a little using gold plated earwires like these at Rio or these darker niobium earwires.
