Beading my little heart out...

What a week! The fine weather had me totally enthralled and I spent many happy hours beading/ felting outdoors! If only the good weather could last forever, right now the heavens are pouring again.

Here's a few pics of my latest efforts. I would love your comments as I'm considering selling some similar items. Of course I will endeavour to pass on any beading patterns that might take your fancy if you leave me a comment!

This is a close up pic for those of you who contacted me wanted to know/ see more of the first cellini spiral I posted earlier:

Having so many sundresses to wear I decided to make a couple of pairs of gold earrings to match them!

And of course a couple of necklaces/ bracelets to match!

Spiral weave:

And my favourite 3 colours gold!!!

My first bead stringing effort...

Below is a (cr*p) picture of the first necklace I made... It was made from a regular string of pearls which I strung onto straight hooks and hung from beading wires.

I made it to match a 60's dress as I could only find bog-standard strings of pearls and wanted something a little different!!!

I promise to capture this item when displayed correctly. Anyone know where I can get my hands on some decent looking display stands/ busts? Can only find cardboard looking items on ebay :(

I love to bead...

People have different ways to relax, for me it's beading... Beading after breakfast, on the train, after brunch and before bed!!!

With money being tight and most high street stores churning out masses of jewellery items (none might I add ever seem to match what I wanna wear) what better way to save money and get unique pieces!

I'm attempting to find proper displays to show what I have done so please bear with me. I would so love your comments!!!! I suppose it would help too if I could actually take a decent photo :)
