Above: These are long and slender and light-weight, 6 inches long Friends and family have made up cool names for the new colors of beads I am working with: river rock and swamp water are two.
Below: These sunnies are made with the African stripe beads and a warm beige color that I like.
Above: These pairs both have the warm beige and the orange stripers. They are smaller and shorter- 4 inches long. The pair at left was a very "me" pair, and very "southwest" at right.
Below is a pair with navy blue and long red sparkly bugles.
