Bellydancing and some treats for my friends

The Tesco charity bellydance went really well. Despite the rain and wind we completed 4 dances including a veil and stick dance. Above is a picture of Joles and I in our costumes.

Last week I was making some little treats for my friends so that was really fun. My friend had a wedding to go to and wanted a fancy spritz of pearls and crystals for her hair so I put together the above fascinator comb. I was really pleased how it turned out.

Below I had made my friend Lucy a bracelet which unfortunately broke so I made her a new and improved version with some Elisa beads thrown in to make it totally unique. The weekend was spent in Brighton with my cousin as it was her hen do, little creativity took place unless you call mixing cocktails creative - they tasted lovely so maybe!

My creativity has been good this week so I might have to do 2 updates this week, I've made a fab red tiara and played with copper clay already......loving it! x

Bank holiday Weekend, yeah yeah!

I went on my walk around the lake this week and bumped into the Coot above with her ugly but oh soo cute chick and this gorgeous looking Swan below. The weather was great and the signs of Spring just stood out.

So I've made a selection of new bracelets this week. I'm doing a May Day fair on Monday and it seems to be that bracelets are always the big sellers, does everyone else find this?

I feel quite excited as if the weather is good about 10,000 people come through so cross fingers they'll spend a few pennies before hitting the beer tent!

I have also experimented some more with bead making - I attempted to make a bead with a frog in. Ok so not a real frog but a silver foil stamped out version. Also made lots of space age looking beads as worked out how to make the silver glass look pretty by reducing. I will take some pictures so you can see what I mean.

Have a great weekend! E x x

Spring time....

So I've been making some new bits and bobs - they all seem to be really nice bright yellows, blues and oranges so obviously the creative part of me is embracing Spring.

I had a lovely weekend in Towcester at Flame off and the bead fair. It was great to meet such friendly inspiring people who were soo giving with their time and techniques. Big thank you!

This bead below I made at Towcester and was trying copper foil - it went black but I still think it looks really cool.
