These are my weekend makes. The rings were made using a beadsdirect youtube tutorial and the matching pendant adapted from that. The bracelet was adapted from another beads direct tutorial. All made using swarovski crystals and pearls.

These are lovely designs Mary.

I love your colour choices and the classic Hugs & Kisses bracelet will always be one of our favourites!

This is my first attempt at a pet portrait and I’m proud of what I have managed to achieve using size 15 and size 11 Toho seed beads and fire polish his eyes

Poppy Byford

Wow Poppy, your pet portrait is brilliant! The intricate beading

with such tiny beads must have taken a while, thankyou for

sharing your design!

Continuing my journey of learning micro macrame by going through the De Groot book. This is the zig zag bracelet. I changed it so that I could use cube Miyuki beads.

Angela Finch

Your bracelet is really pretty Angela. The cube beads work

really well in layers and look

great with the matching cord!
