Weave, Wrap, Coil Bracelet

Just spent two days making this bracelet, much swearing going on but worth it in the end :0) Its not perfect but not bad for a first attempt especially considering I didnt have all the right tools or the right size wire required!!

Safety Pin Watch

Today I have been mainly playing with safety pins!
I saw a watch online with the strap made from beaded safety pins so I thought I would have a go at making one.

Testing testing!

Have just set this up to blog from my new phone so thought I would do a test entry to see how it appears.
This is a photo I took on my phone while having a play around with the cartoon setting.....



Must remember to turn the photos round before uploading!!

Added Beads To Hand Woven Bags

 

Thie brown one had a bit of mild peril when I was trying to get the bead on :0/ .....The fringing snapped, the wire got stuck there was much swearing!!!  The lesson for this week was.....leave a good amount of fringing to play with!!!

Sway Manor Workshop - Jurasic Coast

I have been back to Sway Manor today for another fun filled day of painting.  The theme this time was Jurasic Coast.  I did bring lots of pictures as inspiration but then really liked this one that Jane had in her collection to show us....

 

Here is my attempt at it in Acrylics....

 

I had about 20 mins left over at the end of the day so was told I had to do another painting...eeek!!  Here is my speedy watercolour...

 

Very loosly based on this picture...

Loooooooom!!

Pauline found a loom on eBay recently for the bargain price of £30 so I bought it off her.  Its been sitting in my dining room for about a month but I have come to Paulines this weekend and brought it with me to strip off the old yarn that was left on it when we bought it (as pictured) and learn how to wind a warp and get it threaded up to make something gert lush lush on it!

These are the pictures of it when we first recieved it

 

I think my brain will ache by the end of the weekend!!!
