Does anyone know a good tutorial or if anyone sells murrini in letters I need a J and a N???????
The Kimberley Adams book shows you how to build alphabet murrini, which order to build them, if that's any help.
Thanks Mary I will look it up, I have a feeling I am gonna find this hard!!!!!
i think cindy jenkins book shows it too :)
good luck with it!
They're not too difficult - but "O" is the easiest!
I could do 'em if you really want - but they're well worth having a crack at them yourself.
For J start with the inner section of the bit surrounding the J (i.e. make a closed U shape out of white). Then run black along the right hand side of the U from half way along the top to the bottom of the U. Encase with white up to the bit under the top of the J and then add a line of black to extend the top bit of the J out to the right. Encase in White all the way around and build this into a round shape by adding more white where necessary.
Hmmm.......that's difficult to put into words, so here's someone on Wetcnvas making some:
