1st go at the Kimonos

Here is my first attempt using the Kimono beads They are hard to work in with other beads "That's for sure"

Kensington--you may have found it difficult to work in other beads, but the result is beautiful. I really like your mix of silver and the additon of the cream colour. What is the silver right in the middle of the picture? The one with a leaf pattern and stone or glass at the top.

They are stunning with the Chai buds.
