Julia!

As it's my birthday later this month I decided to celebrate. Anyone who bought beads from me last week had their names out into a hat and the winner won this duo and 20% off their next order!

I quite enjoyed doing this - it's good to win something, and it's nice to give something away!

Green Style Bracelet

Green Style Bracelet, originally uploaded by Glittering Prize - Trudi.

Now that I have "the look" I want for my bracelet Im happily changing colours!! Green, well it is my favourite!!

But what colour will be next .........................

I've been blogged!!

As many of you know, I just love to see how others use my beads. It's strange and enlightening at the same time! Sometimes you have pre-conceived ideas -and then you get a picture and you think - wow, I never thought of that.

Well I've just received an email from the lovely Veryan of Beady Pool to show me how she used these beads. I just adore the mix with the silver, it really sets them off, and they look so carefree!

The strangest thing, and I swear it's true - last night, having made mself some of these beads, I sat down and made myself a bracelet and necklace to go with the earrings I already have!! How bizzare is that! But even more bizzare (or not!) I have also simply teamed mine with silver! Here are the earrings

I'm actually wearing the set today too as it happens. All I need to do is to phograph them too!!

To see more of Veryan's work visit her blog here : http://beadypool.blogspot.com/

and her Folksy Shop here: http://www.folksy.com/shops/beadypool

And just incase you were wondering, these beads are available, made to order, and can be made in other colours too!

BHB Bracelet - Mine!, originally uploaded by Glittering Prize - Trudi.

Well I bought my bracelet a little while ago, and I've been collecting and making beads since - I finally now got the "look" as I want it and feel comfortable with!

All the lampies are mine (apart from the blue and ivory - which I got in the swap last year - thanks Ingrid!).

Now I need to make mpre beads in other colour combos .. must crack on!
