I really enjoy beadwork but as there is a limit to the number of necklaces and bracelets which I can wear I decided to have a go at beading myself a pen. The 'blanks' can be purchased from beading suppliers, along with needle cases, key fobs and so on, any of which would make great gifts. I worked out the pattern on a grid to tie in with Delica beads in colours from my stash and of course something like this doesn't use a huge number of beads so would be great for using up oddments
Val, what talent you have. I love the beadwork on your pen and your choice of colours looks great. TFS. Hugs Rita xxx
