The light here was lovely this morning, so I took some photos around our bedroom/my workshop area. Then I found these necklaces that I made recently, and thought I'd show you. I've been collecting wooden beads for a while, I really like them. And then I realised that I could combine cotton or linen with wood for a nice, natural effect. So I strung some of the beads on cotton bias tape to make long necklaces that can be looped over the head without necessarily being untied. The big white beads came from a Noa Noa necklace from Norway that was always a bit too big. The little red beads (that I threaded onto linen embroidery thread) are just plain wooden ones that I covered with pieces of Liberty lawn. (I used fabric glue for this- I think I first saw this idea in this book.) Threading beads in another one of those calming activities, like cutting and pasting. At least, it is to me.
Hope you have a relaxing weekend! See you on Monday.
