Very autumnal

Handmade lampwork glass beads bracelet by Laura Sparling

The customer who purchased these spotty 'Festive Glow' beads  asked me to make them into a bracelet for her.

These beads have been waiting for a home for a year (I sound like a cat rehoming centre) so it was nice to make them into jewellery and finally send them out into the world.

I made some matching spacers to go betwixt the spotty beads and the result is a very autumnal one. Job's a good'un!

I need to make some more beads to restock my virtual shelves so I'll be in the shed for a chunk of this weekend.


In crochet news...

I've been making a load of tiny motifs out of sock yarn.

I'm currently working on joining them all together, but what are they going to be? Hopefully I'll be able to show you in the next (or maybe one after) gripping episode of this blog. Stay tuned etc.

Have a nice weekend!

  2. Beautiful bracelet and I love the little motifs. I'm thinking a shawl or a lightweight blanket? Either would look really good. I'm looking forward to seeing how you join them together. :-)

    1. Hello, Sue! How are you doing?

      I’ve finished the thing with the motifs and I’ll photograph it and blog about it tomorrow.

      I’m off to see if you’re still blogging now…
