Nice artistry and color choices. Pieces might be a bit large for my taste but it is hard to tell from the looking on the web. Dimensions or a photo of the piece on a model might be a nice touch.
ReplyDelete#'s 13, 11, & 9 are my favorites because I am partial to round over square, and because the colors of the cords were more subdued and I felt complemented the pieces. On some of the more colorful glass pieces, the busy-ness of the cord seemed to detract from the colors of the pieces themselves.
ReplyDeleteThere wasn't a single one that I disliked though {^-^}.
