I have new toys! Needle and wet felted beads :-) Few weeks ago Felt Artisan Eve Marshall gave me a couple of red wet felted beads and said "see if you can make something with it". I mainly work with gemstone beads, rocks, pearls and wire. So this was a completely new medium and I will be honest that initially I thought yeah lets try something but not sure if this will be my thing. Don't get me wrong, they were gorgeous beads but I don't work with fabric type stuff. Wool doesn't like me and yarn hates me. Why would felt be any different? Anyway... I brought the lovely deep red wet felted beads home. They were round so I hammered them into discs and made a pair of earrings. And I was surprised at how nice they looked! So cool that they are mine now! I have been wearing them a lot. Lightweight and pretty, and of course RED! Eve also gave me a lovely purple and blue bead. As a thank you present for being such a good friend I made a little flower brooch...

Of Course! That's all I am saying for now. Oh and two things I am quite partial to are involved... Copper and Red. This is for the  Artisan Whimsy: UK Inspiration Challenge  I wrote about a couple of days ago. My piece of jewellery is inspired by Liverpool. Here is a sneak peak :-) Rest of it on 12 November.
