Dedicated to my friends at Flickr, all except a very important one who had no beauties in her shop due to having a jewellery party.......Brandi, Sharon, Catherine, Karen, Janine, Nicky, Caroline, Debbie and Ali................I'm hoping if I've done it right you should be able to see it here........."For My Friends"
I wanted to thank you all for your unwavering support and friendship!
A commissioned bracelet, when the beads were picked I thought it was going to look kind of boring but it grew on me.
Another commission, a necklace with loads of lovely beads just randomly strung, my heart sank! I'm a very symmetrical person, you know, knicker drawer all sorted into small, medium and large or in my case just large, large and extra large........I can't do random, I just can't. So imagine my horror when struggling to finish this one someone saw it and commissioned another!
And our Gerbil died today...................................I've still to break it to my youngest son! Good start to the weekend!

Oh my, I struggle with being symmetrical. It does seem to be a need, doesn't it? But it doesn't extend to my underwear drawer. :) I am satisfied with things just being folded.
Gee Mandie, I could respond to so much in this posting...
Thanks so much for including me in your treasury - you're a sweetheart!!...
I'm so sorry the gerbil died - it's breaks our hearts to be the bearer of bad news at times, I hope that goes ok for you...
and, I love the three creations you posted. I used to struggle with being VERY symmetrical - yep, me... Mrs Asymmetrical now, but stepping out of our comfort zone sometimes can have wonderful results, like in the gorgeous pieces you made.
Hi Mandie,
Thanks for adding me in your treasury - it's so lovely to be part of an online circle of friends, it really lifts my spirits :) Great necklaces too - I have quite a number of glass beads I haven't really been using in my latest designs and you are inspiring me to have a go and create something a bit different with them...

I have similar compulsive tendencies towards symmetry. I understand how you feel.
Sorry to hear about the gerbil.
