kandi some more lovely pieces there

Lovely makes Kandipandi and newleaf. I wish I lived near bedazzle beads! I bought some beads from them online and they came very quickly and were v. nice beads. I could do with some tuition and guidance, though.

I'm still faffing around with my attempt at a free-form bracelet and think I need more beads. Every project seems to need things I haven't got and I've found that the beads that I bought in the beginning aren't needed. I have lots of beads that I bought and can't think of a use for

I've decided to post a pic of my 1st attempt at free-form, even though I'm going to unpick it and start again, simply because I've got nothing else to show and also could do with some ideas for improvement. I know nobody will be unkind, but I'd actually welcome some constructive criticism, so......

This is still unfinished and needs more rows. Also, I mucked the ends up. The little beads that look black are actually lots of different shiny metallic colours and they look really nice, they're the only bit I'm happy with tbh. I hope I can re-produce them on the re-make.

What do you Ladies do with beads you bought but can't think of a use for?:huh:

Very best wishes to PrincessPoppyPop, too.:)

They do an online course, but it is for 12 months and a bit of an expensive commitment. I would love to do it, but can't afford it this year. I might sign up for it next year though.
Meanwhile, I've booked myself on another workshop in May
I gave MIL her jewellery today, she was delighted with them and insisted on putting them all on straight away!

Hi everyone, Just thought I would show you my latest makes to get some honest opinions. My OH looks and says they are great but obv he is obliged to say that if he knows what is good for him.

Kandipandi

Lolo - they are beautiful ~ he is right

That chain on the bracelet is lovely withit's square links - very unusual - the colour of the pearls you have used is lovely too - would be nice to go with a wedding outfit.
Your red earrings are my favourite though - art deco/ aztec theme and the red beads are lovely!

Lolo - they're lovely :T
Oh you are a clever lot here...............I really am tempted to have a go
