Summer Citrus Jewelry Set

I'm still working on perfecting the art of caning out of sculpey, but I'm doing a bit better.

I had asked for suggestions on simple designs to try and someone recommended I try citrus fruit. I did lemons first, then oranges and then limes. I like the oranges best.

After two hours of just beading last night, here's what I ended up with:

bracelet ON.

I've got a ton of the citrus beads left so I'm going to buy more of the small green seed beads (I had only 5 or 6 left after the necklace so I'm glad I didn't make it any bigger!) so I can actually try and make more to sell to locals. Or give as gifts. I don't know yet. My mom loves the set and thinks it would absolutely sell.

We'll see.

What do you think of them?
