So, Tom made me go over to his work with him today. Yes, MADE ME. So I brought my beads. sleepiegreen and elle_woods, peeking may ruin later surprises. :)
In about two hours, I had these:

For my classroom assistant:


For me! (I never make anything for myself. :))


These two are for swaps:
for someone who is not into "girly" stuff.


I LOVE these beads.


And, just for fun, a dragonfly made from a kids' kit from Oriental Trading.

Aaaaaaand....


A couple questions for you guys:
1. I am thinking about adding a charm or two to the bracelet for me and the first swap one. The one for me would be a star and the one on the other would be a cat head (you may or may not be able to tell that the clasp is supposed to be a cat tail and... I dunno, a body?). I'm not sure if the charms would ruin them or add to them. I'm also not sure if I should put them in the middle or to the side or what. Opinions?

2. I am also thinking about adding a dangling bead to each end (or at least one end) of the memory wire bracelets. Good idea? Bad idea? (Can you guys tell I'm new to this?? :))

3. Honestly, do you guys think these are interesting enough to sell on etsy? (I will not be hurt if you tell me no; I love the stuff I make, but I know it's simple.) I feel like my stuff isn't original enough to attract attention on there, but I don't know. Tips? Opinions? I just don't want to waste my time and money to try to sell them if they don't seem interesting enough.


Thanks guys! :)
