Corrected beading
Well, the dodgy beading was pulled out and the pattern is now correct..
The necklace looks really nice in shades of pink mixed with silver.. :D
Hopefully this will make me pay attention in the future when playing with those tiny seed beads:P
I am also trying out an orange/black combo ..

Dodgy beading
Well, I spent most of the weekend making a seed bead necklace, only to discover I had not followed the pattern correctly so I will have to pull it out and start again :(
Never mind, It is only time...

Watercolor flamenco
well, I seemed to have a bit more success taking photos of watercolor flamenco dancers I painted today.
They do not seem to be wobbly..perhaps it was because I took them with my phone instead of the camera?
I am hoping to sell a few at the fair in August.. If I manage to get a stall?? fingers crossed anyway.
The other half says they are good (I always think all my paintings are rubbish)
Oh and I have painted these subjects before in different colors :D

Rubbish photos...
Well,
I did try and take some photo's of some earrings and a wire work necklace I made today, but sadly they were out of focus so I will try again tomorrow... I am waiting for a camera tripod to be delivered soon so hopefully this will solve my shaky photo problem....
I will hopefully have a stall at the local festival soon, so have also enlisted the help of the other half to re vamp a paste table (to make sure it will stand up) and also have been looking for ideas to display my stuff as well...
I have been painting picture frames and easels (mini) too
will also try and include these in photos

more jewellery
This is a necklace I made today from handcrafted glass beads spaced with lime green glass rondelles
And another asymmetrical necklace with purple shell and turquoise glass beads. and just a small selection of beaded and wire worked earrings I have made, I think my case resembles the 'looky looky' approach to organization.
