I'm still working on the bells!!! I'm afraid I've got rather hooked on these!!
I had a hunt through my threads and decided that the ones I'd got from Sue Hanson a while ago needed another 'airing' so these are made with some of those. No idea what thread it is but she'd wound them onto little card thingies as 3 strands of HWT. Naturally I decided to be awkward and 'reassign' them to two threads wound HWT!!!
The thread is lovely to use (and re-wind too!) and not a single inch was lost in the process!! Amazing really.
You can see that the one on the left has a 'dip' at the top which was an experiment but one which I'm not going to follow up on.
Well, actually it was a mistake, to be honest!!! It was an evening when I was really tired and I missed the split ring coming out of the centre!!!

The mistaken bell has a dent in it,much better to keep your split rings and your wits about you! I like this bell, it has a good shape.
I like your dented bell! They do have a nice shape!
Both look great!! :) The "mistaken" bell just has it's own character. ;)
Lovely bells, Jane!! You go, girl!!!

To the tintinabulation that so musically wells
From the bells, bells, bells, bells,
Bells, bells, bells—
From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells. - Poe
Now don't get caught up in it!
