I am so sorry about the photos. I took them on a piece of blue paper as they looked even worse on white. I think there's a problem with the white balance on my camera, however it's not an expensive camera and I can't figure out how to adjust it...
We used Swarovski pearls, which are beautiful, and wire wrapped them using 0.6mm wire. Confession? I hated it.
I don't know if it was because I was stressed out, or it was the technique (it certainly wasn't the tutor, she's brilliant!), but I just could not get it neat and that frustrated and annoyed me.
This one (above) is the back. We made links for a bracelet and I have almost enough, but I'm not sure I'll make it into a bracelet, they just look too amateurish for me.
We'd been wrapping the smaller pearls, 6mm I think, so I tried a larger pearl to see if that would be better. Erm... no!
What do you think ladies, do these look like something a 3-year old would make?

No I think they look beautiful :)
I don't think you were really tear-gassed, I think you're pretending you were to cover up the fact that you were crying over missing us so much.
p.s. are you ok?
You're too hard on yourself - they look brilliant.

If a three year old could make these then it would be very talented indeed. They're beautiful.
Erm, more detail to explain the first paragraph needed please!!! :S
Well I'm not 3 and I couldn't make them, don't be so hard on yourself.
I think they are awesome! You could use them for earrings or pendants. You did a great job!
Tear gassed???????!??!?!?!?!?!?!
I can confirm my 3 year old could not make any as good as this if that helps!?!
You are being too hard on yourself I think they look lovely.
Is there any particular reason why you were being tear-gassed??
I think you're probably being hard on yourself. These remind me of eyes, lol.
No they don't - they look like something a grown-up who had never made them before would make!
I really like them, and I bet if you kept at it, you made make the stunning ones you think you should be capable of.... it's the practice that makes the perfect!
And what the heck about tear gas????
These are gorgeous, they really don't look like a 3 year old made them!
Tear gassed, crikey, hope you are ok!
