Really old work and 'Never finished' pieces

I've gathered here some of my older work. Some of these I may never finish but may get recycled, some I still have, and some have found good homes.

These are some of my bead work.

The front cover of a book I made during my Btec course

A dragon for a bag made for my daughter, who is a dragon enthusiast. The outline of the dragon was stolen from a greeting card (sorry if it was your design, but I didn't make money from it) but the colours and embroidery are my own.
