Genny Smith turned me on to a lovely new pattern, "The Flat Russian Spiral" is Genny's interpetation.
Of course, the pattern is worse than Lay's Potato Chips. You can't make just one.... and I have two more
on the board...
Then Jennifer posted a Pinterest piece that she loved and of course, I had to make it just for her....
My love of Vintaj Brass made this project a charm to make, " No Pun Intended "....
A lovely " 5 Strand Bracelet " with Chain, Fire Polish and Pearls.
So, speaking of Pinterest. At first when all the ladies were raving about Pinterest, I was just saying
" Yeah! Yeah! " and not paying attention, I was so wrong.
It has become my visual encyclopedia and stimulates the senses whenever I have one of those, " I don't know what to do ". I believe I am so set in my ways at times I do not realize the value of Blogging or Pinterest, but I am now a believer. Posts of the Bead Embroiderer's that I admire have their photographs available for Pinterest and it has become a virtual storage of delightful patterns, techniques and true inspiration. And the colors.....yes, those are on Pinterest as well.
I should design a lovely " Ode to Pinterest "......
Is there a pattern available somewhere for the Flat Russian spiral? The ones I see out there don't look anything like this interpretation. These bracelets are stunning!!
