African Stripes Necklace - part 0

I am one of the lucky 40 who take part in this string-along.
I've made a couple of samples. I like them both. Although brown and white looks 'properly' like mudcloth.

This String-Along is run by Judith. I've missed the Urban stripes project but didn't want to miss this one.

I am using Matsuno #8 seed beads

New pattern

Recently I've learned new chainmaille pattern from this YouTube video . Straight away I decided to create something. I made a bracelet out of square fragments. This weave is like crocheting, when you make separate squares and then link them together.

I also would like to show another variation of Turkish round chain which I made to replace the anklet.

Turkish Anklet

I was asked to extend the Turkish round bracelet (only 4 inches) and add some sparkle to it. This now became an anklet. Today I am showing it to the customer. I hope she likes it.

Materials:

• Silver plated wire
• Matsuno glass beads #6
• Silver plated findings

For Diamond Jubilee

Here is my bit towards Queen's Diamond Jubilee - earrings with beads in Union Jack's colours.

Materials:
- Silver plated non tarnished wire,
- Silver plated findings,
- Matsuno seed beads

More earrings to choose from

I've made some differently looking chainmail earrings. Triangular earrings are very popular and I decided to make different style earrings.

Temari

This is an ancient Japanese craft. Another hobby of mine. Last week I made presentation in Brewery Street Shoppping Centre. Looking forward to show how to make them to all who is interested.

New bracelet

I had some leftover crystals and decided to make this little bracelet. This is a cheap version, silver plated wire and findings. I loved this design so much so I decided to order different colours crustals amd make some more... Can't wait to receive a little packet with niceys :))
