Thanks Peggy - think I need to get more of the base covered with the stringer, but I like them!

These are on a base of cobalt

One BHB in white and cobalt (I am gradually practising making them - only have the one mandrel so I can only do one at a time!):

Rest of my cobalts: some BHBs and some small beads.

The two thinner ones have fuzzy bits because I used light ivory instead of white...
