Beadilicious

Not up to much today really, so to subdue the boredom I decide to make some jewelry with the large array of beads I've been gathering for some time.

Whilst I was in America I picked up some lovely blue tigers eye beads along with some rather unusual ones which whilst predominantly brown in colour when you turn them in the light have patches of metallic blue in them, and alas they've been sitting on the side for several months now, so I string up 5 bracelets with the beads, all with various combinations of blue to brown beads which I'm really happy with. I also make up another bracelet but this one is a combination of tiny haematite beads with some swarovski fire opal crystals (they are almost burnt orange with fading to an orangy yellow). The black and orange look really good together and I'm very pleased with it - I think it will become one of my favourites without a doubt :)

This evening is a bit of a no brainer, Phil is home late tonight after fixing someone elses feck up and so by the time we've eaten (and I've recooked the chicken since it wasn't quite done) and watched Dragon's Den (twice since Phil had a phone call half way through) there ain't much else to do before it's time to go to bed.
