And a UFO that is finally a FO



I started this cuff sooooo long ago, but ran out of beads. As the beads were sent to me in error I had no clue as to what size they were. I finally bit the bullet and bought both size 10 and size 8 delicas so I could finish.
It turns out they are size 10 :)
I added a sparkly little button as a clasp.
And a couple more...
I am finally beading up a storm again....


After a fairly long hiatus, I think I have my mojo back!I have been having a great time using my collection of 1.5/1.8mm cubes. And of course the weave of choice is peyote. However I went a little nuts and did random 3 drop and here are the results.
I have called this red one The Temptress, she is sexy and sultry and would go perfectly with that Little Black Dress!

My Favourite Piece

I made this cuff "Okeanos" without any planning whatsoever. I grabbed the cabs and the seedies and off I went.
I really love this cuff- the colours are soft and subtle, yet the piece makes a statement- well I think it does, anyway.
After I finished it, I went hunting for a name that would suit. It had to have soemthing to do with the ocean as I felt that the piece represented the ocean. I typed Ocean into Google and found "Okeanos" which is Greek for Ocean.
I entered this piece into my local show this year and it placed 3rd in the Woven Jewellery category. One of my other pieces took 1st.
