Ooopsa-daisy!

What have I been up to this week?

Making daisy chains - that's what.

It's a stich I've never had much interest before, but when I saw a design for some little rings in Beth Stone's book - I though "what else have I got to do?"




Here is a close-up of the bracelet I made with size 8 beads, so you can see the pattern.



I made a ring with size 11 cylinder beads and some swarovski crystals.



And then another using less crystals, I tought it would be more comfortable to wear.



Then another coliur combo.


The daisy chain bracelet made with bead soup size 8 beads.
It doesnt show the pattern of the daisy stitch very well, but I like the randomness of it.


What do you think?

Little rings for little fingers

Making little beaded rings is quick and satisfying.
At first it's hard to make them small enough if you are used to making bracelets (usually) or necklaces (never!).
Little girls love to wear rings so I strove to make some to satisfy young fingers.



These rings are made from a design by Dustin Wedekind from the Beading Daily site.
I love combining bright and pretty beads and can't wait to see what the little princesses think of them.
