wow what a great idea - I can really see the pylon shapes - love the red 'sweetie wrapper' beads.
Seems like the arm is better?

Thanks for your comment on my 'giveaway'. I appreciate all your comments and especially the one telling me about seeing the brooch. I wonder who it was?
I love your sampling. Being an Art Teacher means you have a head start with the design element. I especially like the design you made form the structure you photographed.
