Ha! No it's always a pain to do.

I turn it at 90 degrees first and then move along and gently turn it bit by bit until its roughly oval - often they end up all shapes and the silver plating peels of and I have to keep trimming it until I get it right :mad:

Oh, what a shame, I was looking forward to seeing them.
I think others have had issues with posting pics from imageshack.

Instead of image shack - have you used photobucket. Its very easy to use and easy to copy images into forums. Just copy the link and paste it here.

Thank you managed to do it on photobucket (or rather got my son to do it!) pictures are a bit large though, need a bit more practice! Anyway at least they are on!

So HONEST opinion please!!!:D

Very beautiful - i think they are lovely I would wear any one of them.
I love the wire worked around the beads its fab!

It's not a critisism at all but - it might be the size of the picture but are the brooches heavy? I ask because a friend made me a brooch some time back and used large beads and it just sagged away from my clothes IYKWIM.

Gosh, so many new posts on here - I've only got a couple of minutes 'cos I'm cooking the tea (boo!!), but traceys9062 - I think your Brooches are great, very interesting and original and I'd love to see a multi-coloured one as well. They look hand-crafted too, which is always nice.

CraftyJuJu - I love your memory wire bracelet, the colours and textures are really attractive - but I love your Sock Bunnies even more - they're so cute!!
(apologies for going OT, ladies)

Does anyone know where I can buy something similar in the UK, as they do not ship here.

Many thanks

Hi, thanks for the kind words .
That particular bracelet was made with this Mystery Mix I ordered from Jillybeads (mixes - clearance mixes), I also added some of the larger beads from my bits and bobs drawer and my own pink and clear seed beads and the longer spacer beads. Its about half this mix and half my stuff.
The mix is only £1.40 and I've used it quite a bit. I also add to it when I have bits left over from other things.

thankyou found them and ordered them along with a few more dozen beads for my collection (that i really dont need but were soooo pretty )
