No one would even know these were spools which I think is a positive thing. They look like you created them just for your pieces. Awesome. Love the fiber beads with that necklace, too - a little nod to the spool, but just looks great with the whole spinning thing!Honey from the Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01955079572505560557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806686507038523712.post-75437733288624390602013-11-08T20:41:48.600-05:002013-11-08T20:41:48.600-05:00I love these both!

Now you've got me considering altering the color of my last one too. Beyond that, both of your designs have left me rather speechless. They're lovely! I especially like that second one.

I always enjoy the lessons you share on your blog, whether it is a word origin or a place. I think the ivory colored one is beautiful. The beading on both are wonderfully done.
