Hi from a newbie

**iw-bird** · 15-03-2010, 03:04 PM

Hi all!

Just found this forum and am looking forward to learning from you all.

I learned to make tiaras and jewellery for my daughters wedding so that I could incorporate pearls from both her grandmothers'.

The bug bit me and now I have such a collection of tiaras, combs, cake jewellery etc that I have had to start selling some and have done a couple more weddings already.

I am currently learning to incorporate shells for a friends daughter who is getting married in July.

Its a great hobby for me as I am disabled and often ill so I can pick it up when I want and can work in bed!

Looking forward to exploring the forum.

Hello Bird and

What a lovely way to wear old pearls. Photos please

welcome on board

Thank you for the kind welcome.

Having a bit of computer trouble as camera will not load photos so as soon as that is sorted I will post some photos. I also need to produce a leaflet for a bridal shop who will take some of my stuff ... should be challenging.

Hi Bird, welcome.

Hello from me too!

I used to make Wedding Stationery and the handmade tiaras I saw at the Wedding Fairs were amazing - from a little tiny 'wave' in a thin band to high 'crown' type affairs with sparkly dangly bits.

**iw-bird** · 16-03-2010, 07:13 PM

I like those wave type designs.

Im waiting impatiently for a variable chuck and some fine drill bits for my dremel at the moment ....come on postman!
