Back in gear!

So, I have three projects on my desk, two amazingly brilliant designs in my sketchbook, and a couple of dozen unformed ideas in the beady bit of my brain. It’s looking good after what can only be described as a particularly crap few months since I had this knee done - positivity wins over pain once again!

First project is ‘Isobel’ in a pale blue, made with Miyuki delicas instead of the original Toho Treasures. This came about because I was castigated by a client for selling a kit with ‘inferior’ Toho Treasures, causing her to deposit the said kit in the bin. I’ve just made exactly the same design with delicas, and there’s no difference, you can either bead or you can blame the beads - not someone I’d be dealing with again!

Second one is a stunning gold and cream necklace and pendant my cousin asked me to make for her - I have a feeling she’ll like it!

Third one is a secret. It’s for a publication, and it’s a stunner! Nothing like the original design I sketched - much better. I’ll let you know when I can broadcast her!

I’m in the process of arranging workshop dates with Lynn at Stitch n’ Craft in Shaftesbury for next year, some good classes coming up! I’ll keep you posted!

Don’t forget to buy your Oct/Nov issue of ‘Beadwork’ mag in September - instructions for ‘Sonya’ necklace are in it!
