MORE old designs
About this design:
Now that I'm better at editing photos, I can proudly (umm... ok, somewhat) display some of my earliest pieces. At least you can see them. The first photo is one of my favorite early pieces, but met an unfortunate end when it fell out of my bag on my brother's street and he found the pieces a couple days later. :(
The second set has 3 turquoise stars that came in an assortment of turquoise. The third piece I made for a dear friend, with clear and metallic seed beads in the traditional spiral stitch, and a very pretty pewter dove charm.
