I've made several pair of earrings in the recent weeks using Czech fire polished crystals and seed beads using patterns by Deborah Roberti and I've also made several pieces using patterns by Michelle Skobel. I love everything they do and would love to have all the patterns they have made. I subscribed to Bead & Button magazine and got a lot of the patterns as subscriber patterns, that was quite a surprise. If I'd known that, I'd probably have bought the subscription way before now. I haven't been working with the off-loom woven patterns too long, I guess I started trying to learn how to do them about a year ago, but just couldn't get the hang of it, but I decided that I WAS going to make a "Sealed With A Kiss" bracelet and I had to rip it apart several times, but I finally did it. That was it, I was hooked and have made several of them plus lots of other bracelets and not have started earrings and necklaces too. About 2 weeks ago I made Michelle Skobel's Picots & Pearls set, necklace, earrings & ring, haven't made the bracelet yet but it's made the same as the necklace so I know I can do it. I absolutely love the way it came out, I'm adding a photo below, maybe somebody will see it..lol.I don't have a photo of the ring that I like well enough to post but maybe I'll do one later. Please feel free to leave your comments.
Well, until next time, y'all take care!
