First I fixed up a few beads to make a glass bead braclet design I have made before.
Next I tried out similar beads with a greek key design. The greek key, needs to be smaller and neater in my opinion, but as a first attempt I am quite happy.

| Greek key wirework - I think the technique needs some perfecting! |
And with a few other designs that I shall keep under wraps for now, I suddenly had a full bar for the Christmas fair that my wirework jewellery attended without me on Friday. (I don't know how the fair went, as I have yet to collect my stall).
Do you know why I take part in Handmade Monday? Of course I enjoy your company, but it isn't that, its that I need a little discipline in my chaotic life and having a Monday deadline helps me remember the day of the week. Give it up for Monday whoaoooooo. (Please see Cbeebies if you need help with the tune!)
The bracelet is just beautiful, I love the connecting wirework it just works so well with those stones
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the discipline of HM - certainly makes you focus on a deadline, which for me is something I need. I like the colours you have used in your bracelet
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic design, I think it is even nicer because it is not regular, it looks quirky and personalised rather than a uniform design. I lurve it!
ReplyDeletePretty bracelet there but unfortunately I can only see the second photo despite hitting F5!! Lovely though!
ReplyDeleteHmm, everyone seems to only be commenting on the second picture, so maybe you are not alone!
ReplyDeleteAs I said it was one I had made before so if you want to see it then it is the first bracelet on my website shop.
Love the beads you have on the greek key design. Your wire work is really good for a first attempt - well done Mich :) (the picture above this isn't loading on my comp for some reason.)
ReplyDeleteI can only see the second pic....but it's a beauty xx
ReplyDeleteLove the greek key, looks good to me. I think we all do better with deadlines - I know I do.
ReplyDeleteCan't see the top pic either but the greek design looks striking sitting between the beads on the second pic. Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteTop pic has vanished but love the bracelet
ReplyDeleteThe idea of greek wire work is something new to me, but it looks really effective. It's a stunning piece, you should be very proud of the creation.
ReplyDeleteI can't see the top photo but the bracelet is lovely. The wire doesn't need to be perfect shapes, it gives it character and individuality the way it is. Fingers crossed for the fair results. x
