Finished TTNP

This was made for my friend. I finished it on Friday, but was unable to post it as I had a fantastic beading class with Daisy Beaders yesterday.

TTNP - 4th December

This is being made for a friend who liked the one I made for my MIL. I have nearly finished it now although this photo shows it at around half the necessary length.

Dutch Swirl Ear-Rings and an Updated Necklace

I got the pattern for these from one of my new books (recently blogged). They were simple to make and I think they are really effective. A bit too glitzy for the school run maybe, but perfect for all the Christmas parties coming up...

And this is a necklace I made a while back. My friend wants to buy it and asked me to shorten it for her. She ordered a pair of matching ear-rings from the removed beads! Waste not, want not!

Another commission piece

This bracelet was made specifically to go with the necklace that I produced at my last beading class. I understand that it is going to someone as of a Christmas present - now there's forward planning for you! I posted a picture of the necklace back in June, but I have included it as a picture of the set to show how they go together. It is made using a double rope stitch which is easy but very time-consuming.

Beading day makes

It was a fab day. I made these two part projects and added a lot more once I got home. The black and white necklace is nearly finished now. The berry work is going to be a bracelet and might be a birthday present for a friend, depending on how it turns out!

Kwerner Colour Challenge

I decided to have another go at the challenge as I really love the colour schemes that are used each time. It is a real challenge to use colours selected by someone else because it makes you think outside your normal colour comfort zone.

I am quite pleased with the result although it is a little removed from my normal style. I used an A5 card, so it took a little more effort to fill the space.

Kwerner Challenge

The challenge on the Kwerner blog is to use these colours and make a card. I think I may have just got in before the time limit is up...The link to the site is on my favourite links at the top of this blog.

I hope you like it!

Another bracelet and some cards

These cards were made with the alphabet stamps that I bought in The Range. 99p for a whole alphabet...so I bought three!

The bracelet is similar to the other three. I am experimenting with different colours and hoping to sell some!!! Otherwise, I will be over-run with beautiful but unnecessary bracelets!
