Has anyone else finished anything lately they'd like to share?

Happy New Year

WOW!  I LOVE that it is absolutely stunning Sally  really Stunning!   I am completely in awe of seed work I would never have the patience.  I have just dipped my toe in the water with beading jewellery and have just finished a piece based on Stephanie Sersich method of macrame style cord made from scratch and hand knotting beads into it..... I loved doing it but it took forever!!

Hi

Macrame is not something I've tried yet but I can imagine it would take a while to do.  The necklace you've made is a great way to show off a lot of lampwork beads which I'm all in favour of.

I'm afraid I can't claim any glory for the colour choice.  It's a kit from Laura and I agree the colours are stunning.  She has a brilliant eye for that.

Morning

It didn't take too long. Probably a few months with some gaps while I found the beads I'd run out of.

While we are on about Laura McCabe, I'm quite ashamed to say that lampworking having taken over, I STILL haven't returned to the cuff from the Laura McCabe Masterclass I attended last September  :-[

that's beautiful Sally. I did Laura's Treasure Necklace class last year & have just one more locket to go before I can assemble everything!

I hope to see a photo of the Treasures necklace when you've done.  they take a while don't they.

Look forward to seeing the finished bead embroidery cuff if you ever get around to feeling like finishing it.  It is hard to fit everything in isn't it.
