those look great!

one question? do you burn the ends to prevent fraying? i know there are more sophisticated ways, but after i snip the ends, i use a cigarette lighter to seal the ends. you can't tell at all (no burn marks) and it keeps the edges from fraying. just a suggestion - looks as though there are some loose threads there where you cut the ends in a V shape.
I thought about "burning" the ends, but i was always afraid of ruining my bows I'll try it on the next bow I make though!

Also, I use clear nail polish at the ends. Most of the time it works, but sometimes it doesn't..
