Kumihimo

Well this is my first piece with beads!!

I made this a few weeks ago at the Brisbane beading meet where the challenge was a kumihimo bracelet with beads (challenge set by Suzanne)

Whilst I struggled early on, it worked out really well I think :)

Crystal Twist Tutorial now available!

I have just uploaded my newest tutorial :)

"Crystal Twist"

A simple yet impressive bracelet tutorial to make your own modern and stylish spiral bracelet.

Suitable for beginners to intermediate, this bracelet includes a netted toggle to compliment the design .

See it in my etsy store

New bloom necklace

Made another version of the Bloom necklace over the wekeend because we had trouble sourcing all the materials in time for the class at Mad Monnies.  I think I like this one even more !!!

Stitches and Craft Fair

Well I had  lovely day at the stitches and craft fair - and a wonderful but busy class - and everyone completed their beautiful kelidoscope bracelet in the class :) Lots of happy faces - most had never beaded before .......so hopefully I have made some addicts there :)

I bought a few odd bits and pieces, but also the most beautiful strand of marquise garnet which I am sharing with my friend Lavinia :)
