My first bead embroidery project

 My first bead embroidery necklace completed about two years ago. The central cab I made from polymer clay - it was supposed to be faux fossil coral - I'm not too versed in polymer clay. I used many 15/0 and regretted it while working, because my embroidery needle did not fit through most of the beads and it took a looong time to bead, but it does look good. The most difficult thing turned out to be the backing, because I didn't choose the right material and I did my edging stitches too close to the edges. It seems quite fragile to me, so I keep it just to look at.

Another bead embroidery necklace that I made a year ago, this was my third or fourth piece in bead embroidery, and the first one that turned out the way I intended, having had a hard time with aligning the backing properly while sewing the edging.
