I never thought that my work was good enough for anyone but family and friends.  Well, I had to suck it up and step outside my box.  I entered 2 of my pieces in the BeadSmith Kumihimo Challenge.  For me to do that was a big step.  Even if I don't win, I feel very priviledged to have them featured on the challenge site.

This piece is made with 1mm red satin cord (bugtail) and 8mm beads.  I used the basic 8 cord movements.

This piece is made with 1mm gold satin cord (bugtail) and a novelty crochet yarn.  Again using the basic 8 cord movements.
