Cats galore...!!!

A few weeks ago I was selling at a small Craft fair; Lesley whose stall was next to mine enquired about my lampwork beads. "My daughter has a little black cat, could you make me a pair of little black cat earrings - she would really love them". I always like a challenge and so I agreed. Not having made any cats before I had to practice a bit before coming up with a satisfactory cat-like shape.
Here are a few pics, including the finished article (in the gift box)....















Lesley later decided to add a necklace to the earrings, I think this makes a rather lovely little gift!


I quite enjoyed making these, thinking about making more animal beads....

Back to being creative....



It has been ages since I last posted on my blog, have had my brother visiting from Vienna, he is lovely but I'm happy to have my own space back again!
Have done a Valentine's craft fair last sunday at the Spark Café in Lichfield, still not convinced if they work for me... having said that, the wheather was slightly off-putting...

Working on some more macramé, pics to be posted soon....!
