New Book, New Magazine And New Jewellery

posted: Monday, 18 September 2006

An exciting week- got my first copy of the book I co-wrote with Liz Thornton! Like with my first book, it's so different seeing it in all its colourful, bound glory. It's nice to flick back through and see all the projects and samples we worked on and remember how much I enjoyed working with Liz on this. We originally began it a few years so it's been a long time coming- but worth the wait.

I also received an advance copy of the Oct/ Nov 2006 issue of Beadwork Magazine with my Honeycomb Beaded Beads project in it- a follow up to my honeycomb bracelet that was featured in their Feb/ Mar 2006 issue.

Went to bead group on Saturday where I continued my new necklace- geometric 3.7.3. Bought just the right crystals for embellishing the triangles. Sunday was a great day of wirework with friends- I managed to start another Viking weave necklace and make a basket weave bracelet all in silver to contrast with my gold and silver one- now I just need to adjust the size and polish it up. Despite a few problems with size and shrinkage of bracelets, the day was a success and it was nice to sit and do wirework with friends and catch up- it doesn't get better than that.
