Keep in mind that these are my "test" toggles...   I was just playing around with them and certainly need to improve the design.  What I would like to know is if you think I should pursue them or not...

Can you tell what the first one is supposed to be?  That's really important.  I am going to study the subject a little today before I try to remake it, so hopefully it will be more clear as to what it is supposed to be.  Also keep in mind that the first one is still on the mandrel for a reason - it's stuck!!!  ... and I chipped the bead trying to get it off the mandrel.  So these are not even cleaned yet! 

The 2nd one I know you will know what it is - just want to know if you like it and think I should create more of them.   I still have to practice on these guys though as I've only made about 3 of them since I've been making beads. 

Okay - here they are:







and here's the 2nd one:



sitting on the round part of the toggle:





sitting on the end of the bar portion of the toggle (there's one on each end):



Thanks for looking and taking the time to let me know what you think.

PS - In case you couldn't tell... the first one is supposed to be an elephant.
