A Beady Pin


My friends at Ravelry are delightfully pushy!! I was dithering and dragging myself out of 2011 when they shamed me into posting a list of crafty resolutions :
  • one piece of beaded jewelry a week
  • embroidery at least 3 times a week
  • sketch a face at least one a week
  • intarsia
  • more painting and dollmaking
  • regular blog entries
Of course, I have the excuse of Kolkata for the first week, and catching up for the one after, but i'd better really get along, ought'nt I??

Copper wire 12 and 16 gauge, and a gypsy glass bead became a shawl pin. The time i spent watching a youtube video of making wire spirals was well worth it. I'm really happy with the wire shaping and the finish on this one :)
