I spent my day reading, cooking and researching on receiving Paypal in Cyprus. It seems that there is way for now, until Cyprus is also included with full options, through Auctionchex. Not sure yet how the whole thing works, but I am opening an Etsy shop and I do need to receive Paypal as payment, so I'll figure it out somehow.
So tonight I made this pair of earrings. Not sure if the beads are tiger eye or just simple glass, but they are gorgeous. Wrapped them in sterling silver. Not very pleased with how I wrapped the loops on one earring, I might have to re-do it. In the meantime I'll just wear them and see how they feel.
