CHAIN MAKING

CHAIN~o~CHAIN~o~CHAIN~o~CHAIN~o~CHAIN oOo~oOo~oOo~oOo~oOo~oOo~oOo~oOo~oOo~oOo

It's only the 1st November but I'm so busy with
Christmas projects, preparing for Bead TV filming
with 'seasonal greetings' and getting ready for my
Open Studio sale ... that, I've hardly got time to surface
for breath! (Where have I put my wire & beaded snorkel??!).

So, in the interim, to keep you inspired, here are some
images (like wallpaper) of some of my handmade chain
designs...
(Incidentally, a lot of the tutorials for these can be found
on BEAD TV.)


However, as soon as the chaos dies down at this end,
I will be return with some fun Christmas project inspiration!

But ... in the interim, here are some images of chains (and if
you suffer from insomnia, this may be your best cure!!).

... and with a 'wave' and a 'wiggle' I must be off to
my studio to finish what I've started and to get done
what I've begun ...
