Watch it!!

Hello lovely  folks,

I am back after a lovely, lovely break in India...luckily there is still  enough sunshine  left in the UK to remind me of home!!
It was quite a  jampacked trip as it always is, trying to catch up with family and relatives and making sure no one is  left out plus getting all jobs done while I am there.....but its a nice kind of buzz !! It was the first time I attended a Ravelry meet which was fantastic ,I met so many kindred souls and made so many friends as well! It was amazing  .

I wanted to share some pictures of something I made earlier,would be good to hear what you think!!



Watch straps made from silver effect beads and black beads finished off with a toggle clasp.




A  close up







I made one for a dear ,dear friend for her birthday and it was really well liked and that has spurred me on to make more for family and friends...I like the ethnic  Indian feel the oxidized beads have and the fact that they can be worn with Western or Indian wear.

I will do another post really soon about the goodies I found back home! Keep smiling and enjoy the sunshine!!

Hugs,
Ramya

  4. Hi Ramya,

    Lovely watches. I bet they were fun to make. Many years ago before baby bear was born, I used to make a fair bit of jewellery. It was such a calming craft....fun too! All the beads everywhere became a bit too much when the baby came so they all got packed away. Maybe one day I will start up again. My 'to do' list is far too big at the moment!
