Current Beading Project

This is what I'm working on at the moment.




I'm not sure yet if its going to be a bracelet or necklace. I've only just thought maybe it could be a bangle but I think it might be too big. I'll know later today when I get to bead another of the Laura McCabe claws that I'm using to frame a lampwork bead of mine.

How did it go?

It was quieter than the same bead fair last year which was disappointing. Last year I chatted to lots of lovely people. This year I chatted to a few lovely people and sold a few beads.




These are some focal beads I made for my stall. I was really pleased with the bead selection I had and was secretly hoping to take lots of money. Unfortunately I didn't take enough to cover the insurance to be there.

I'm going to give Etsy a try once I've caught up on the housework I've neglected in favour of bead production.

Beads

I've been making beads ready for a bead fair on Saturday. Here are a few pictures.




I took the photos on an iPad and am rather impressed by the quality.

Spiral rope

I've never made myself a spiral rope. I made one for my mum ages ago and have meant to make myself one for ages.

Here's my effort so far.




I quite like the monotony of it. I can pick it up and put it down and don't need any instructions.
