olive penguin says:What a creative use for those Czech glass beads! These are wonderful. Your accents really compliment the details in/on the glass beads.

Sylvia N says:Thanks to all for the nice comments!As for the mouse trap comments,sometimes it’s best to keep the negative comments to your self!I work very hard on coming up with creative style but we don”t always see eye to eye on pieces! as my mother thought me if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all!

Eeka Mouse says:Silvia – I did not mean for it to be a negative comment. This is a very supportive community; how about trying not to hear comments as being “not nice”.

puppychick labratbecky says:I think they are gorgeous and the resemblance to mousetraps only makes them cuter! I know that is what Eeka meant.
