My first real seed beading after taking a class yesterday!

The first one is a spiral bracelet, and then 2nd one, she calls "confetti". I'm thinking of making it into a lariat, or making a vessel to go with it. I'm hooked. Ok, I'm starting to get the seed beading thing. And like a dummy, when I was at the bead store, I had no clue what beads I wanted, so I just bought some of these purples for class, and the browns were some I had at home. Well, I've figured it out now. I want ALL the size 11s and ALL the size 8s. That's not too much to ask, is it? I started out using 8s because those 11s are so darned small, but now I like them. I like the 2nd piece because it has mostly 11s, but some 8s, too. These weren't quite the mix I wanted, but just the colors I happened to have.
I wish I'd taken some of these vessels with me, to pick out some beads to go with them. With the bead store being an hour away, I don't get over there very often! I've been looking at the Shipwrecked catalog, drooling. MUST have seed beads! Must have seed beads!
Oh No! A new addiction!
