More Beading from recent past


This necklace was made while I was in my Spiral mode. I love this stitch I think it is my favourite.
What can I say. I thought I would try the double spiral. I loved doing this BUT found it difficult after a time it seemed to crush up and went very tight.So what I thought I would carry on in one colour at one end then the other colour on the other side. It turned out very interesting dont you think? I had seen this on a site in my web wanderings.. Sorry I cannot remember where it was. But when I do I will give credit where it is due.

beading in the New Year



It is ages since I have done my blogging thing. My friends have been contacting me to say how sad they were because I have not been keeping my blog up to date.

This necklace was the outcome of the spiral necklace I told you I was going to try in the clear and royal blue mini bugles. I have never tried to cover a stone but as this my first attempt I hope you will forgive any mistakes you can see..

A friend of mine who lives in England does a lot for some very needy charities.. In November I sent her some of my finished UOF's. I have now started on the next bunch to send her. It is good to clear the decks (so to speak) .
