  8. Wonderful designs. I can't bead to save my life, so I always appreciate the technique and work that goes into beaded pieces. My favorite pieces to wear would have to be the 2nd last necklace and memory wire bracelet. They both have a wonderful warm vintage feel to them.

  31. Hi Max, The dragonfly necklace is wonderful. You showcased the focal well and I like the netted straps and fringe. The filigree set is beautiful too. The bracelet is simple but pretty and it would go well with either of the first too sets. Great job using your soup ingredients. I like the soup that you sent to your partner.
