I messed it up. The design uses size 8/0 and size 11/0 seed beads. Size 8/0 is the larger bead. I got them confused and so my spiral turned out larger, and less spirally... I noticed about a third of the way in, so thought I'd have a go at doing it the right way round to make a kind of focal point.
I really like it! I prefer the smaller spiral, both the way it looks and the colours (I know they're the same colours, but the white stands out more in this central part), but overall I like the change between the chunkier spiral and the more delicate one.
My only issue now is that I don't have any clothes that gold goes with! Why did I choose that colour scheme?

It turned out great! I think these colors will go with anything.
That is really pretty!
It's lovely! Great job :D
the result looks very beautiful
Gold goes with everything!
It's lovely! Your " mistake" suits your dragonfly. It will look nice on any dark solid color.
Lovely neclace, it looks good with the smaller spiral.

What a great "mistake"! It really looks like you did it all on purpose to properly support that fantastic dragonfly :-)
A perfect design decision!
I love the chunky effect. It was a happy mistake.
Maybe you have a friend (or your mum) that you have not yet made a Christmas gift for...I agree the "flaw" turned out to be a beautiful design element!
Looks good, maybe it's an excuse to buy a new outfit
your mistake has worked so well and shows off the dragonfly well, maybe you choose these colours so you could buy something new to wear it with
