Now remember.....I'm REALLY new at this. I've only been making jewelry for a little over a month, so my pieces are not nearly as good as some I've seen here by others. But since I'm now a member here, I thought it was only fair that I show a few of my pieces.

Critiques and/or advice is welcome! 

They are all very pretty!  I like that you are already experimenting with combining different textures in one piece.  Alice

 Thanks Alice.

I'm sure that most people probably plan out their pieces in advance but I never really do that. I choose my colors and my beads and just kinda throw them all out there and start putting them together in a way that I think will look nice. I like combining shapes, colors, and textures to give the pieces some interest. And as you can probably tell.....I love working with chains and making double or triple strand necklaces. 

I know I should probably plan my pieces in advance because it would probably make my work come out a little better. 

LB,

I think you should create your pieces exactly how you have been.  I can't imagine how much better they could be.  I love them.

 Thanks Raven....that's really sweet of you to say.

 I guess we're always hardest on ourselves because I look at everyone else's work and think how much better they are than mine. 

Your pieces are great!! Very beautiful!
