Fun with garnets

Starting another piece - I had some garnets I wanted to use up. This will be the base pattern of the piece - but once I finish building the length, I'll start in on embellishing it.
I switched my thread to the higher quality Fireline brand - and after working with it, I don't think I'll back to regular beading thread. The Fireline is much more sturdy - and doesn't require any pre-waxing!
