Week 28 - woven lampwork bracelet - julie
posted on Thursday, 02 August 2007
I recently set up a site on ETSY, and have become addicted - there are so many talented people on there. I recently bought some lampwork beads from one of the sellers and knew that i wanted a simple design that wouldn't detract from the gorgeous beads. I recently bought Beaded treasures by Robin Atkins - which is based on finger weaving and knew that this would work perfectly for my bracelet.
I had my monthly beadgroup last Saturday and it was the ideal time to make the bracelet. A whole day of nothing but beading, show and tells and lunch with friends - bliss.
Am really pleased with the results. I mixed in a few swarovski crystals and finished the end toggle with some tiny thai silver beads. Just need to chop off the ends and its finished.
