Tidying Up or This?

In my world THIS will win every time!

I started out with very good intentions of tidying up my making table today. It is in a mess. And no I have no intention of taking a photo to show you my mess! It was going very well... Found a few orphan beads and pearls, a cab I thought I had lost, bits of wire...

Actually it was LOTS of bits of wire. I cut it too short, or bend it the wrong way, or it gets kinks I don't need so I put it aside on my board for doing something at a later date.

So I made these earrings.



Tidying up is soooo over-rated!

  2. Ha Ha Ha Mischelle, you are right of course!
    I occasionally have these "senior moments". Luckily they are rare and don't last very long!
    Thanks! I am at a show tomorrow and really looking forward to it.
    Enjoy your week-end :-)

  3. How can you tidy up when you are surrounded by your jewellery making stuff.
    These earrings are lovely, and I think sometimes the best designs are made when tiding up as looking at things in a different way sparks the imagination.
    I know that some of my best jewellery designs are made when rummaging through my bead boxes.
    If this is the jewellery you are making while tiding up I say keep on tidying.

    1. :-) Thanks!
      That's why I think tidying up is over-rated. Let there be beads, beads and more beads and lots of wire. Something good always comes out of the chaos that is my jewellery board.

Soup's On! And its Tasty!

Actually it is  Delicious! Just have a look at what my Beadsoup partner Susan has sent me! M is the word... MAGNIFICENT! It is an amazing selection of beads, ribbons & cords and not one, not two but FOUR different Focal pieces to play with. The hand-etched copper clasp is just amazing. And her generosity in the amount of beads she has sent is quite humbling. I don't think I sent her enough! But she says she likes it and I am eagerly looking forward to seeing what she creates from it. Just look at what I have to play with, so many different colours and media! Read what Susan thinks of my soup. And now I can reveal the soup I sent too! It includes: - A selection of pearl and shell beads in Yellow, Orange, Green and Red. - A small selection of Felt beads that I made using the technique felt artisan Eve Marshall taught me. - A selection of pewter and Tibetan Silver beads - Yellow Organza ribbon. - Kumihimo braid made with Chinese silk cord. - Tibetan Si...
