The earrings are almost entirely 15/0s, but also call for a few matching 11/0s in each color choice, as well as 8/0s in one of the colors, so my color combos were limited by which colors I had all 3 sizes in, that also went well together!
For the first pair, I tried to summon Spring (it was 38 degrees outside on the morning I decided to stitch this pair):
Pastel pink, green, and purple basketweave/Celtic Star beadwoven earrings
I am not really a pastel person, so while these earrings are pretty, they just didn't do it for me, so I tried again:
Black, red, and gray Celtic Star Earrings
Of course, I absolutely LOVE this pair!
The design is created by stitching each individual color strip, and then weaving the 3 strips together, basketweave-style, before closing them. The resulting design reminds me of a Celtic Star!
Both pairs are available in my Etsy Shop; the pastel pair is here, and the black and red pair is here.
Note: Gwen's tutorial gives me permission to sell pieces I create from her tutorial.

Aren't these just pure fun to create? I especially love the first pair because of the connection to nature (shivering shamrocks, where is Spring!) And that second pair - gotta appreciate its bold geometry!
