1. Black and Red Drop Crystal Earrings No. 175 by Susan of 11BOLDstreet 
The "before" earrings were an entry for another PCAGOE Challenge. I was never really happy with the lower, translucent element. It seemed too dull and clunky by comparison with the upper focals. So, cut sleek slices from the same rich red as was used in the nugget beads, sanded, buffed them and added a sterling spiral, then re-hung as the new lower element - MUCH better!!

2. Fancy Soap Dispenser by Lisa of HiGirls 
This pink and blue soap dispenser just needed a little bit more. Gray trim with a white wash makes it a little more special. 

3. Emily by Marie Young of MarieYoungCreative
I loved "Emily" when I first created her 2 years ago, (see "Emily" Before) but my skills have improved so I decided to give her a makeover. I sanded her down and added a new layer of clay to give her features more definition (including sexy eyelids!). I also changed the color palette on her skin tones to provide more contrast.

4. Steampunk Fish by Freda of  FredaK
The first one was made in 2010 and was covered with extruder cane flowers and the other one is steampunk made last week.

5. Pod brooch re-do (revised design) by Beth of CreateMyWorldDesigns
I never quite liked the red outer rim of the original brooch, so for the December PCAGOE "re-do" challenge, I decided to change the original piece to something I'd like more, the black and silver outside is the result.
