Wow ! what a month.................
Having gone to The Big Bead Fair at Sandown in October and finding the thread I needed for my beaded cuff and re-started it things got busy !
Had to leave that to one side and prepare for a Charity Lunch in aid of The Wirral and Chester RDA.
This was a ticketed event in an old manor house ... such a lovely setting problem being the lighting was awful. But I was happy with my table and my sales!
The next day was spent driving down to Gower in South Wales for a couple of days beading and learning new techniques from follow beadbuddies.
Staying at a beautiful B&B run by a avid seed beader it was time to learn new things............
Yes! that me playing with seed beads ......."Welcome to the Dark Side" ..............
My first and lets say only ! flat spiral bracelet .........................
The lovely Dee being my teacher not only did she show me how to do this but also beads made from seed beads.... a beaded bead ! hehehehehe
Also had fun playing with fimo. Gloria showing me how to make canes and then using this to make beads
I had the most amazing 3 days in the company of Lynda (owner of B&B) , Dee, Gloria and Karen. Lets hope we can repeat this next year.
The beaded cuff was started again using the new thread. This time the thread is working well, but still slow and on going.............
Liking this now think it will just grow and be fluid !
