Je ne peux pas vous montrer ce que j’ai fait ce week end, par contre je peux vous montrer avec quoi j’ai travaillé. Le kit que j’ai acheté à Andrew Thornton pour le défi Sweet Honey et vous verrez tout ça jeudi. Voilà les perles:
I can’t show you what I made this weekend but I can show you what I worked with.
I worked with the kit I bought from Andrew Thornton for the Sweet Honey challenge, and the reveal is on Thursday 14. So let’s see the beads:
J’ai quand même quelques boucles d’oreilles à vous montrer.
Pour me changer les idées et me dégourdir les doigts, quelques paires rapides,
Well I have a few pairs of earrings to show you,
I needed to change my mind and and stretch my fingers, so I made some quick earrings,

The Helen Jewellry beads are lovely – I love all your dagger earrings! I panicked for a moment because I'm doing the Sweet Honey challenge as well and haven't made my pieces yet. Then I remembered that on the Allegory Designs Challenge Facebook page, Andrew pushed back the reveal until May 21st since he's been traveling. That means I still have one more weekend to get to work!

the copper head pins are super; were they a part of the kit too?

No they are some unusual findings I was lucky to find!

Thank you for reminding me, I had totally forgotten! At least I can focus on my three next challenges by June 6! Can't wait what you come up with for Sweet Honey!

Aaaaaaaaaah bead overload! Bead overload! I think my brain's turning to squishy mush – just can't take all the gorgeousness! Love the earrings – especially the last set with those fascinating coloured dangles.Lovely. Do you ever use tumbled gemstones with your work? Not beads – just the polished crystals and stones? They'd be so lovely with your wire-work. Sending summer sunshine from Shroo:)xxx

Oh sure I love gemstones, I'd love to use them not drilled but for now my wire working skills are not sufficient to do that, I can only use them as cabochons in bead embroidery, but I'm working on the wirework…
