I have pulled myself away from the glass and actually used some of the beads that I got the other day at the Craftshow. Well it is actually gemstones, mmm lovely Turquoise. I remember when I first got into beading that I always thought to myself that I wouldn't use gemstones and that they don't really appeal to me that much...BUT....I just love Turquoise. I love Rose Quartz and Amethyst and Onxy too but Turquoise is my weakness.
So at the Craftshow I got these cool little nugget Turquoise and something which was sold as 'White Turquoise' however I don't think it is and I think it is something called White Magnesite which is closely related to Turquoise. However I don't really mind because I just loved it and the necklace has turned out better then what I expected!
Of course I had to make a matching pair of earrings. These are slightly different as I have used little Howlite beads with the Turquoise.
On another completely different note, I have to get out a new pair of gloves for when I deal with the kiln. So I generally only wear one glove, because thats all I need just to lift the lid to check that everything is A-O-K. So I decided to jazz it up a little bit. we got given these little sample packs of beads and sequin stuff at the Craftshow so I just sewed a couple of them on. They are onyl cheap and plastic but make the glove a little bit more....me!
Yet again no study has been done. Lets hope tomorrow is a slow day at work and I can get some done to make up for today!
