I went to Handpicked Hall in Leeds with Lottie and Nanna the other day. We learnt how to make a bead dragonfly! I was really interested in this because I've recently done a jewellery making course and enjoyed it. I had a go at making another dragonfly when I got home and then turned it into a necklace! Just remind me to keep Lottie away from it! I went out and bought some more wire today and intend on making a few different things similar to this.
I made this jewellery set to say thank you to my friend (whose a photographer) who kindly took pictures for us at Lottie's Christening. As you can see I have bought all the basic findings and some lovely beads to keep me busy when Lottie has a cat nap! I'm glad I have a new hobby that I can really get into at my own pace and play with lots of colourful and pretty things!
Ah and this. I have written to pen friends recently and spoke about this! I feel like shouting from the rooftops "I made a book!". The lovely Kate Bowles did a great bookbinding workshop so I went along. It took all day. I didn't find it easy but I am so pleased I did it and I'm really looking after it with lots of jewellery making notes!
I have made quite a few other things too but these are my most recent!
