i think these are cute and definately getting better
just need to keep practising :o)

Hi
Its been a busy month
had a very successful show last week
and some deliveries to galleries
have had a couple of days off now i need to get some new glass beads made
 before our new grandchild arrives in dec.

here is what i finished making last week for the show.
They are 8 full necklaces or wrap bracelets
 (the red and black one goes around my wrist 3 times and is gorgeous)
think i may have to keep it, even though it is not my usual colour choice.
