The latest 'MAKING JEWELLERY' magazine is a
Celebration special, appropriate then that April sees my own big birthday (40...ssshh!) and so I am especially delighted to have a step by step article featured in the issue.
It was a very time consuming project that had it's origins in a previous (epic!) necklace design I made for an
International Women's Day exhibition last year at stockist 'Lemon Blues'. This time it was suggested I try creating a similar design but in a gradual flow of colours. Due to time issues I decided to use larger seed beads this time to create what is a very dramatic statement necklace. The cuff bracelet uses memory wire and multi row crystal spacers to maintain shape. Impact jewellery for that special occasion.

SUPPLIER UPDATE - I adore the colours and the beads were lovely, unfortunately
Empire Beads where I purchased the materials has just shut it's doors and so I have looked around and suggest BEADS DIRECT for similar supplies if required.
Yay! Lovely project.
