An old flame...

At last, the lurgy is finally feeling like my body is kicking it in to touch! Hurrah! These last few weeks have been a nightmare, just hoping half term is kind to me.

As a result I treated myself to a trip to the Bead Fair this weekend in Harrogate. At first I didn't think I was going to spend much... that didn't last long. Jewellery making is an old hobby of mine, one for which I used to get a lot of commissions from people. So, here are the first pair of earrings I have made in about, oooh, ten years! Eeek! Kept them nice and simple though and used my favourite metal for them - Stirling Silver.



Thanks for looking!

Gorgeous can understand why you used to get commissions with designs like this!

They are so pretty. I'd love to try jewellry making, but the courses available seem to be about the complicated techniques, and I just want to start with some simple things. One of these days I will look into it properly, and find out where to start!
