A Beaded Bracelet

I spotted this bracelet in the current issue of Bead magazine and just had to have a go. I've been wanting to make something in this style for ages but never quite got around to it - you know how it is!!  I have to say it wasn't exactly difficult but quite fiddly as once started there are so many little places where the thread can catch as you go along so I had to be careful to ensure that there were no unwanted loops of thread each time it was pulled through the beads.  I like the finished article and it was worth the slight frustration involved.  I just might have to make one in another colour scheme now.

Teardrop Necklace

Some jewellery this morning - a necklace made using size eleven beads and magatama drops. This is a variation on one seen in issue five of Bead Magazine which is a great British bead magazine. I think I will make a bracelet to match with the beads left over from this project.

A Spiral Rope

Another neccklace finished yesterday. I had made the spiral rope part using size 11 beads, short bugles and size 15 beads but not decided what to add to it until I spotted a pair of star ear-rings in the current Bead magazine - one of these stars proved to be just right. It has been made in such a way that the 'dangle' can be interchangeable.

Heart Necklace

I made this necklace a little while ago from instructions in Bead Magazine. and thought it appropriate for Valentine's Day (a day late I know!). Unfortunately it doesn't sit as well around my neck as I would like and keeps twisting round - maybe I have a funny neck!!! I did enjoy making it although it took quite a long time using size 11 seed beads.
