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.
ReplyDeleteI like your dented bell! They do have a nice shape!
ReplyDeleteBoth look great!! :) The "mistaken" bell just has it's own character. ;)
ReplyDeleteLovely bells, Jane!! You go, girl!!!
