THE PRETTIEST UFO

I found these components 

that I had been making 

for Sabine Lipperts 

La Fleur bracelet pattern. 

For some reason I never 

finished making it. I have no 

idea why not, just look at all that 

sparkly loveliness!

It's far too pretty to live its life out 

as an 'unfinished object' so

it's definitely a project 

I want to restart.... 

GATHERING SUPPLIES...

Gathering supplies 

for my Labradorite project.

Here is what landed

 on my doormat 

this morning -

a gorgeous 

faceted strand 

of 4mm rondelles.

Mmmm mmmm!

You can really 

see the blue flash 

of colour coming out 

of these stones. 

It's going to be a while

before I can get going

on this project 

but looking at these 

little beauties makes me

excited! 

Can't wait.... 

COULD IT BE TIME TO BREAK OUT 'THE SPECIAL CABOCHON'?

When I was first getting into beading 

I saw this gorgeous Labradorite 

cabochon. 

I bought it straight away 

even though at that time 

I had NEVER 

worked with cabochons before 

and had NO idea 

of even how to start 

working with them!

I thought to myself, one day...one day 

I will make something from this, 

but the years went by 

and I didn't learn the skills

 to have a go... 

but I am starting to think 

that maybe now should be the time 

to use it ..... 

I am pretty confident that I can 

make something 

now that I have some cabochon 

experience under my belt,

but the pressure of it being 

'that special cabochon' 

does make me have a few nerves!

Wish me luck!
