Bracelet Done

There are different way to finish a Cellini spiral;  I chose to finish it as a bangle, without a clasp or toggle.  Once you reach the desired size, you just zig-zag the two ends together for a seamless finish.


It works out very neat I think and the design appeals to me very much.  I'm already seeing it in my favourite turquoise and teal colours…


I like to wear a few different bracelets together…


Best wishes,
Frivole

Petal Earrings

I had the chance to buy the kit for these earrings at an incredibly reduced price.  I made one earring a few months ago and hadn't gotten around to making the second one… until today.  I decided I should make it at last, so I could enjoy wearing the earrings instead of looking at the lone one!


These are the Yafa Petal Earrings
designed by Penny Dixon

There was only one colour scheme available when I bought the kit but I have now purchased the petals in my favourite turquoise colour and may just have to make another pair…  They are substantial earrings and I'm wondering if I could modify the pattern a bit to make a similar but slightly smaller earring.  We'll see.


Oh, and I know most people are probably aware by now but just in case I can catch a few more:  

Fox's blog, Tat-ology, has moved to a new address:

I know I was worried when I got the "404 URL not found" error message when I went looking for her blog a couple of days ago so just in case you were wondering too, this is where she can now be found.

Best wishes,
