I've been working on lots of beading projects behind the scenes recently (some for months and some for years!) and I'm excited that soon I'll be able to reveal some of them - and some special classes they're for.

These beaded triangles use Swarovski Chatons & Rivolis as their centrepiece and don't believe your eyes as they're not beaded quite as they seem (as anyone who's done my Beaded Arrows Heads class can attest to - and these have some extra twists added).

But they combine to make a geometric beadwork project that I'm looking forward to revealing and wearing.

So today began with choosing colours for a new variation of this project and then progressed, when one of my sisters came around, to an afternoon and evening of blue hair dye (hence my blue fingers) and choosing colourful shoes to go with a stripey dress I'm wearing for a wedding next weekend.
