A Bit of a Twist..... Bracelet


I did this at the begining of the week. I beaded hundreds of Red beads on a wire and repeated it with the gold and clear beads.... and then i needed an extra pair of hands to twist it... It's not as twisted as I want it, but then again, I will be having a go at making more like this and using different ideas.

Partner's First Attempt.... at Jewellery Making

(Sorry Picture not perfect.. couldn't get light right, so it doesn't do it justice)


Well this is the first set that my partner did of jewellery making. A necklace on a silver chain, with a pretty purple shape leave..... and a pair of earrings to match!

Not bad for his first attempt.... and it's only took him 2 days to work out what he was doing... LOL I did have to help with the Earrings, as you need a extra pair of hands.

To be honest I would buy this set, as it's a cute little set!

My Blogs gone "AWOL"

Please bare with me... I signed into my blog this morning to find that half my post have gone missing, and that there is only a picture and no writing..... I don't know what has HAPPENED!! So looks like I gonna have to "Re-write about it" Then again I don't know if its just my end thats playing up or it really has gone "AWOL" But what ever has happen.... I am not happy now..... My blog just looks a "mess" And I dont do "mess". So not a very good start to the day!
