I have joined a charm swap and thought I'd try out some of my improved beading skills since reading Beverly Ash Gilbert's book Beaded Colorways. It cleared up some issues I had with the details of the beading process. I was pleased though that the basics of the freeform beading I've been dabbling in were not too far off. I hung the charm up on the wall to try to take a photo of it, it is just over an inch top to bottom.

How beautiful is that? Glad I signed up for the charm swap!
Gorgeous, all the blues together are heavenly! I'll have to give that one a try down the road.
Beautiful charm Fiona. Might have to break down and buy that book.
This bead is absolutely beautiful Fiona... I wish I had been your partner!
