My 1st beading attempt


At Wednesday Craft Group this week we had jewelry making session. This was something that I had never attempted before, but had a complete starters kit that I had won through the Quick & Crafty magazine way back earlier in the year. To be completely honest I had been thinking of selling the kit, because I had no inclination to use it at all. In fact even when spreading the kit out on the table yesterday, I was very tempted to put it away again LOL, however Suz & Sarah convinced me to just have a play & make something!!


I am so pleased that I took the plunge, because I had such fun & made myself this wearable bracelet.

Watch this space folks because I think am now hooked........

And I am so glad you didn't put it away as this bracelet is gorgeous! And you do realise that there is no cure for this addiction!!

It's lovely, Jane.. I would wear it, for sure!

I also do some beading once in a while, and have produced some bracelets (and other things) I am very pleased with. It's very satisfying, isn't it?

Lovely bracelet. I have been beading about 18 months now, and like Emma says its an addiction. I have had to buy more storage for all my beads and findings.... My biggest problem now is deciding whether to bead or make cards!!! Looking forward to seeing of your beading work soon...
