Good evening one and
all, this is my submission for the big bead give away, a wonderfully kind and
talented bead artist Lesley set several budding jewellery/crafty people a
challenge, we were given a lucky dip bead/beads and were asked to make
something of interest, I have chosen to make a handbag charm, shown here:
I was lucky enough to be sent 3 beads all in all, so with the final two beads I put together a pair of earrings, shown below;
If you would like to
see the original bead challenge information set by Lesley, please follow this

This is a massive blog
hop and urge you to check out everyone’s wonderful submissions, they are all
going to be magic and would hate you to miss out on them:
