Our April bead club project was a bracelet of buttons and embellishment sewn onto elastic.  A fun, feast-for-the-eyes bracelet great for using up odds and ends.

I'm so excited!  My first Bead Shack kit arrived a few days ago and inside was their Juliet Bracelet. It's gorgeous! Swarovski pearls and crystals, framed with Delicas.  And a lovely sparkley sculptured magnetic clasp.

I'm at the Mt Eden craft market this Saturday and I'll have the Christie's Law petition and jewellery there too.  See you there!

Our March bead club project extended the viking knitting theme, creating a bezel pendant using the viking knitting weaving technique.  I made a viking knitting cord of copper to hang it on.  Over time the copper will darken.
