Beader's Companion ~ I'm a Little Beader

 Evening peeps....this evening I decided to get out one of the beading kits that I bought at Craftaganza by BEADERS COMPANION.


 So out came the mat, the kit got opened and sorted and with my tools at the ready........*gulp I began...I was really nervous as i didn't have Sarah with me to keep me right...


 I cut my wire attached it to the clasps and flattened my crimp bead........


 I layed out my beads in the design and then got to work.......



This is the first layer all done........I then continued and set out the second layer and then finished off the end.
I made a pair of earrings to match to complete the set.


I fell in love with this Create Drop Pendant Kit as soon as I saw it......this is the purple.....and I have decided to give it away as a gift.

I thoroughly enjoyed making this tonight....I have to say it really is all thanks to SARAH as at Craftaganza I didn't think I would be able to bead due to my Arthritis.....Sarah told me otherwise and I'm so glad she did...I'm a Happy Little Beader :O)


Thanks for stopping by....much appreciated!

I would not know the first thing about beading. The pendant looks lovely with the shape & the colours. So glad that Sarah persuaded you to have a go.

Lovely. It is a little technique rather than force to make this type of jewellery, isn't it? I've got this kit but haven't made it up yet. Hope it turns out as well as the one you've made.
