What a fantastic day I have had today !!

I spent the whole day making a necklace and some earrings for myself !! I didn't have time to finish them, but I feel on top of the world because I have mastered some new skills and had a chance to do some experimentation with shapes and styles that have been bustling around in my head for a while.

Next week I have promised myself that I'll get stuck into making Christmas stock, so that I have a least made a start before I go on my hols !! 0:-)

Hope you have all had a good weekend ?

Grrrrr...... I have always wanted to use that one Jo.

They are not very exciting I am afraid, but it was just lovely to do something for me, which I haven't done for a while and I felt a need to answer Barbara's plea for new threads.

Sorry to do a Geti style tease, but I will have to wait until we have daylight to do some pics. I'll get back to you tomorrow..........

So what did you get up to this weekend?

Well here is my necklace and earrings (not finished properly yet though) , I made them for myself for my hols next week, however I'm not sure what the elegant Venetians will think when they are surrounded by all that beadilicious Murano glass and I fluff into with my pompoms!!

Very nice Lisa - and as the Venetians are so swamped with glass, they'll probably love your fluffy balls!

That's very pretty Lisa - did you felt your own balls? (no tittering in the back row please). Perfect colour for the season too :)

I'd love to be able to use felt, but am horribly allergic to anything to do with sheep, so wool is a major no-no.

Can I ask how the earrings hang? I'm never sure about unarticulated long stuff, but it might be because I've got a short neck and just end up bumping into stuff with my shoulders!

I luckily have a long neck and they just hang !! But I would appreciate some advice from you as to how to "harden" the hooks,when planishing how much pressure should you exert?

Do you know I didn't even think about Christmas, I just had some balls hanging about and thought that I may as well make some use of them. Geti, you were of course, my inspiration, I bet you can't wait to see the ring!!

I would twist the wire before bending - it hardens silver really quite a lot and is completely invisible in the finished piece. Otherwise, you can give them a good bash with a nylon hammer, which shouldn't alter the shape at all - thought it isn't as effective as the twisting, which hardens the whole of the wire rather than just the surface.
