Update on cuff.....

I have been working on this new challenge ..... "The beaded cuff "
Having sourced the beads..................



Then the thread......................


After working with this and realised it wasn't going to work. Need to source some different thread. Think maybe Surperlon will work , but having never seen or used this I am hoping my visit to The Big Bead Show at Sandown next week will give me the chance to find some.
I so want to make this challenge work I just need to be patience and wait till I find the right thread.
So keeping watching and waiting ................... :-)

A new challenge........

The start of October has come with a challenge........
A beadbuddie of mine showed me a macramé beaded cuff and asked " How on earth? "!!!!!
The trouble with this challenge is I don't use seed beads (well only for holding big beads on head pins ) hehhehe,
So maybe I could use something else............ trawling the internet I came across someone who sells Czech glass beads in a stunning array of colours.
An order has gone in ... HELP ! .... now I have started this I have to go through with it !
It may (an understatement) take some time......... but hopefully I will succeed.

Will keep you updated on my progress....... so watch this space !
