I bought this tutorial and have "studied" it. I haven't had time to actually make anything but the pictures and text are so clear, I'm sure I'm not going to have any problem at all. Well done!

I really like this tut, I love the fact that it is very versatile. I can just picture myself wearing the pendant version strung on a cord. Will be so good to show off in the summer, oh dear, my creative juices are going into overdrive, LOL.

I have added the tut to my cart, I love so many tuts on this site. I have to find time to make all the tuts I bought so far but this is definitely going to the top of my list for sure.

Thank you so much for posting this gorgeous tut.

Thank you for your comment beadydani! I would love to see pictures of your completed projects using this tutorial.

Jenny
