This is the fruit of my tortured muse last week.  I had entered the monthly challenge but this one was to make Man Jewellery. Me being me ofcourse wanted to make something completely new and different. I must have made and remade something at least a dozen times but finally into this.......Ta daa

I doubt its new idea/design but I think the colour scheme might be. Come on you fellas out there, I'd value your comments. Do you think you could wear my bracelet? Matt enamelled copper wire in blue and green twisted tight to make a lovely bi-coloured twisted wire, then coiled into a thick rope around large gauge copper wire. The fun part was coaxing my final twisted rope into a central knot, finished with a simple copper chain. The pics aren't my best but there's been precious little sun these past few days!

All comments welcome

I had an intro today to the wonderful world of lace, (thank you Anne!) to be more specific bobbin lace and a potted history of lacemaking industry around Salisbury city. What's more amazing about lace was that great cities and cultures were built on the stuff, just like beads were the currency of the ancients!! My main reason for going along was take a look see to find out if I too could learn how to make lace....all part of the Great Quest to expand my adventures in wireart  

But changing the subject, here's another creation of mine made earlier this week.

I'd been having a serious bead block from trying too hard with competition projects. So it was with great relief when I decided to make something for fun. Its based on one of my very earliest designs made in pearls and opal crystals, the original version was very bridal but golly did I make it over and over because I loved it so much!

A big helloooo to all you peps out there in Googleland. I'm dedicating this blog to my passions which include beads, wire, chocolate, family jinks and pretty much whatever takes my fancy. So if you stumble across this blog, why not take a look at my musings, scribblings and designs. I've now been wire working for exactly one year...whoopee doo! Happy anniversaire to moi!
