PHEW its over.




Yah xmas is over for another year,ahh its awful here,to hot,to noisy etc.This is a picture of my buddha i got for xmas,it is called meditating buddha but i think of it as resting,so lovely.
I finally finished Jaycee's pattern Firestorm2,which is lovely.I just have trouble with peyote with lots of colour changes,its me and though i get things done its always a long frusrating journey.
Strangely enough my most unfavourite colour of all time ORANGE!!!!now features in both my latest works,this one being a simple bracelet row of crystals.The pattern is at Rubys Beadwork,the herringbone bangle and i just used black 11's and fire opal 4mm crystals.As a helpful hint i inserted a chenille stem to help it keep stiff and bend nicer and used the trimmed metal ends of the stem to hook around the button magnetic clasps little holes,it held on much better and was easier to bead.I made it on new years eve and i think it looks like fireworks against the black sky,i buy most of my crystals from abovefashion on ebay.
My new grandson is due in 4 days and his mum is very fed up,its hard to be very prenant in the heat.
