Bracelet

The first picture is the practice run for a bracelet with the shell beads. 

Can you see the wee heart shaped beads in between?  They were in the packet that Kelly sent me and I DID say here that she would lead me off the straight and narrow - well, she did!!!  Now I've allowed myself to be led astray I'm really enjoying it!!!!

They have a hole in the middle and you can put a tiny bead in that if you want to.
Well, after the practice piece came the 'real deal'.  Sadly the colours don't show up as well as the 'real thing'.  Perhaps I ought to have taken a photo instead of being really lazy and using the scanner!!!

  1. That's so cute! I've seen little things like that where there is tatting around beads and charms and such, but I can't fathom how it is done...Hmm..

  2. I love this bracelet! I am not sure how you tat around the beads either - what a great way to add lots of color.

  6. I like that Jane, it's very pretty! I'm partial to the blue-grey-green you used in your sample bit though... will you be making more than one?
