Bubbles 21

I made this little key chain for my friend. On one bubble is a 21, on the bottom one is "M&M" because we both have names that start with M.

No pattern was used: I only made balls of random sizes and used the finishing end to tie each ball to one another and to the keyring (by simply using a knot).
