Now check out my stuff!
My first braid... simple black and white swirl with a nice white bead.
Pink and black swirl with an Archimedes quote.
Two tone red in honour of that lovey dovey squishy day :)
Some green luck for the Irish.
Four shades of brown with a silver key.
Black and grey for my favourite elephant charm!
Here's where I started getting creative with beads.
These are glass pearls woven with a fine white cord.
I think it looks like grandmother's pearls with a 21st century twist!
Pink and clear cube beads, and it's surprisingly smooth on the neck!
I used blue cord and silver seed beads... it took so
long I quit once I had enough for a bracelet!
Teal and purple are so IN this season!
Another seed bead experiment in blue :)
