N radon says:Elaine this is a beautiful set. The colors are lovely! I so wish I could work with seed beads but my eyes can’t see them well and I have clumsy fingers as well-but your bracelet and earring set make me wish I could. Maybe with a few more instructive pictures of your work I might be able to use a few with those great Tila beads.(Actually I have to take my glasses off and hunch over just to see the seed bead hole!)
