Busy Weekend

posted: Monday, 12 May 2008

Had a busy weekend teaching my Wirework class on Saturday and then my Viking Weave class on Sunday. Both of them thoroughly enjoyable.

I especially love Viking Weave as between classes I forget just how nice a technique it is- really relaxing to sit and do- your mind ends up wandering all around the world whilst you're sitting there creating!

I managed to finish a bracelet in the class- the weave was done in copper and I finished it using Sterling Silver findings as I liked the contrast.

Copper findings used to be almost impossible to get hold of in the UK but are thankfully a lot more easily available now- a simple google search threw up the following just on the first page for anyone looking for some:
EJR Beads
The Bead Scene
Coral Stone
Bead Addict


Don't forget Beads Direct's competition- entries need to be in by 30th June- so get making!
