Wow- I know I slept through a lot of it but still it went by fast!

Somehow I managed to be super efficient and get my January newsletter out before the end of the month- just- and also launched a new pattern: Affinity Jewellery.

These bangles were the first of my Designer of the Year projects in Beadwork magazine for 2012 and I adore them. When ever I teach I love seeing them again and also love people's reactions to them- they are just so much better in real life (isn't all beadwork) and you only get their full impact when you see them 3-dimensionally.

What's even better is they're quick to make and a lot easier than they look- the perfect beadwork combination in my eyes!
