Slowly steadily

I have been busy! First there’s my designer quest entry, which should be starting to be in completed stages, instead it fell apart so have to pull that apart & restart. Instead its sitting in a pile waiting. I spent so so so many hours so when it fell apart I was gutted, which is why I haven’t restarted it. But I know where I went wrong & how to fix it. The designer quest is to try & push your boundaries & that I am, I think!

I signed up also for a seedie swap on the beading forum, where I have to create a bracelet for another member with my inspiration being “art” I have my inspiration & now just have to begin. I do not have success writing my ideas down so I’m kind of letting this idea build & grow mentally. I do hope I can pull it off.

Theres also an idea I have for a necklace which I have been working on for a few weeks, but I haven’t gotten very far due to a teething baby. He’s now got 2 teeth & thinks its very interesting having these strange things poking out in his mouth, so hes been biting me when he should be feeding. Extremely painful, but yay for pumps!!

But of course with plenty of things to work on, the only thing to do is add a few more projects in!

These were made for a wedding, they are swarovski pearls on clip on earrings

These are a pair of earrings I made. They are plain crystal with purple seedies, which glows off the crystal, I really love the look of these. I would be wearing them if I thought our boys wouldn’t touch them!

& this is a set I made for my sister in law in 2008. I used sterling silver wire, swarovski crystals & these adorable little rose clasps, which I found matching charms for the earrings.
