Re: Funky new bracelet!

Hehe, I have to admit, I'm no good at adding beads to things like this! I can never pick ones that look right with each other.

Ah, grasshopper - use an electric drill on low speed.

I love the bracelet. Are those chicken beads on the earrings? Never saw anything like those before!

Ahah. And my husband wondered why I wanted a used dremel. Just call me "Grasshopper2" ;-)

Thanks!

Both gorgeous but I want that bracelet. :-)

I remember when you won the beads, the earrings you made around them are very beautiful too. I can imagine them swinging from my earlobes! Are they going on Ebay???

Nom they're abstract lampworked ones! Look up Instar Studio or something similar on the UK ebay website and you'll find them!

Yup, need to take a better photo though!

Hehehe, fair play!

Charlie.

But I'd still have to push against it with my thumb though! I got the Bf to wind them in the end. I told him that as I was making it for him he could bloody well do some of the work!

Gotta Question? Search RCB:

When my ex was winding steel wire for a hauberk he made a little wooden pusher thing with a small groove in the middle of one end so he could use it to press the wire against the mandrel.

Maybe you can make something thumb-like but out of a less painful material than your thumb.

I'm sure there are lots of less painful things than my thumb. dowel is good idea...
