What’s on my bead board – April 2015

Firstly,  apologies there was no recipe post last week; I was a bit under the weather with a heavy head cold and really couldn’t summon up the energy to photograph and write down a recipe.  Well on the way to recover now though, so normal service will be resumed this week.

Now onto the subject of this post – beads!  I’ve beaded for quite a few years now and it’s a hobby I really enjoy (unless I’m three quarters of the way through a long project!).  The last year however, it’s take a bit of a back seat.  I’ve dug my beads out, looked at them, then put them away again.  Basically, I’ve been suffering from the scourge of crafters everywhere – lost mojo.  I think Mr Mojo is slowing and surely returning, thanks in past to some lovely beads purchased from a good friend of mine, Linda Mabbott at Inside the Fire (more about these in a later post).

So, I thought I’d show you what’s on my bead board this week.  It’s been a bit of a work in progress, started about a year ago and sadly neglected, partly because I can’t decide whether to make a long necklace, short necklace with dangles, or a lariat.  I love this colour combo, and I’m very proud of the big beaded bead.  The lampwork bead came from my stash via a friend’s destash.

I’m hoping to have it finished within the next week or so, as it has dragged on a bit too long now and I really want to start something new.

Thanks for looking.
