This year I brought some beading supplies with us for our winter trip - so I've been spending spare time beading. A couple of the necklaces I've finished.

Carol, I just started beading three lessons ago. I do a lot of muttering. I have a new found respect for anyone who makes jewelry. Even a simple beaded necklace (none of yours are "simple") takes creativity and skill. Terrific work!
mostly it take being willing to rip out when you discover a mistake several stitches back. Do lots of ripping out - in fact just finished undoing three whole sections (the only ones I had done) in a new necklace - But I enjoy doing it and it doesn't take up a lot of room.
