This blog won't impress the professionals. That's ok. It's for people like me who just want a quick necklace or bracelet for themselves, or for a pressie. Usually in a hurry.

Three for me.

While i'm waiting to acquire more findings and beads i made myself 3 little elasticated bracelets.
The little letter beads were from the Trimits wirlygig stand at the local market.The rest of the stuff is from my dismantled old jewellery. Hubby knows loads of people so i've asked him to put the feelers out for old broken beads etc that people may be throwing out. He's already arrived home with a tangled mess which has quite a bit of potential,lol.Before i go i have a little tip to share.
I use a cheap watercolour palette to sort out my beads for my latest projects. The hollows are nice and shallow to get your fingers into. See you soon ,hopefully with some better stuff.    Di.xx

Double bracelet.

It took me far too long to make this bracelet. Partly because i had a few drinkies last night and was a bit shaky and partly because i had to restart it a couple of times to get it the right length.
This was made using beads from my ripped apart old jewellery.The only thing i had to buy was the toggle. It is threaded on Beadalon flexible 7 strand beading wire.It's slightly too big for me as i have quite skinny wrists so it's going into my christmas stocking fillers box.
