This really should have been the quickest 'beading' I've ever done. All I had to do was buy the components & crystals, glue the crystals into the bezel, join them with jump rings and... voila!

But...

I originally bought the components & crystals at Bead FX in June 2013 but didn't get enough.. so when I returned in 2014 I bought some more... but then managed to lose some bits of the matching clasps...

So when I was back in 2016 I made sure I got everything... and then lost some of the clasp bits again...

So, in preparation for my trip to the fabulous BeadFX a couple of weeks ago I got it all out, checked what I had, put it all in a box to take so could have it with me so there'd be no errors...

and I promptly headed to Canada without the box...

But I still figured I knew what I needed so all was good...

I bought my bits and today sat down to get glueing & assembling... and I realised I managed to buy some of the components & clasps in antique bronze instead of Pewter...

Guess this project is destined to be a few more years in the making...
