Number 2...not like the drawing, and the spokes need to be a touch longer to make it sit right, but passable I think?
Number 3 is no closer to the drawing, but I kinda like it too :)
Number 4 come about from a piece that I cut off, then played with. I think this one might join nicely, and allow for some more experimenting in that process to create some lighter areas to balance the dense rings...
Tomorrow, I plan on playing with the glass again! Some serious trolling of the internet has my head bursting with ideas to try out. Most of them will have to wait until I have a bit more experience, but I have a few ideas ready to go now.
Here is a necklace I have put together as a Christmas gift.
The next two pics have not scanned so well, but you can get the idea!
Here are the final 10 Christmas tree decorations to go with my cards. You cannot see it very well, but I used 2 colours in each plait, and the 'real life' effect is quite pretty.
Finally, the last of the necklaces for Christmas! I love the black/silver colour combination, but I had soooo much trouble with breaking wire in this project, and there is a leaf missing - it fell out when I pulled the pins and I decided not to remake the section!
That is long enough for now...thanks for reading on :)

I love all your motifs... #4 is my favorite! The card decorations are very festive looking. I love the beads, and I think your wire work is amazing!
LOve.. Love #4.
Just a quick question...was the wire that broke the most - one particular colour? Or was it both colours? There is a particular blue wire that they make that the colour coating comes off - so I don't use it - I have used the black and had no problems but never tried the new Smoked colour...I had a student once who had problems with the Leaf Green - but that was probably cos the aircon broke down and she was hot and I think tugging on the bobbins a bit much - more breakages as she got more stressed!
They are all very pretty! I love that shade of purple.
