As you may know, Im a bead maker, but I've been more than a little inspired by this forum (and a gentle prod from George :) ) to try and do a bit more with my jewellery, rather than stick a bit of silver wire through the hole and make a loop.
So these are the first two bracelets where I have made everything, beads, connections, clasps etc..

Fiona, they're beautiful.

Sudden thought, Fiona. I didn't mean to say that you needed a kick up the bum! I certainly did and MizG was the one to do it...

nice one.
What are the green beads made from, to my old knackerred eyes they look like malachite with gold drops in, green and gold go well.

Thanks Carol - unfortunately I can't think of any other way of joining - sometimes its sad being a 'bear with a very little brain' :D

Your beads are gorgeous Fiona and I love the way you've wired them together, they are great looking bracelets :Y:

I hope these bracelets will give you the confidence to go ahead and do some more work with your beads :D

Oh well done you, if that's you're first attempt at making everything you've done very well indeed.

Keep working at it the ideas will come to you more quickly, your brain just need to get used to doing it that's all.

I started out writing down every idea I had, stupid, inpractical even hiddeous, the lot. I then went back a few days later and read the list again. I didn't necessarily come up with brilliant designs but I did begin to realise what wouldn't or couldn't work, that taught me a lot and got my brain going in the right direction.

Your instincts are very good you'll be just fine. :Y:
