Spirals, spirals and more spirals

So, I finished the "zulu bracelet" and the "flat spiral" bracelet But then I realized I'd given away the" single spiral rope" and another type of "Dutch spiral", without taking photos. So I'll make these two types again. I also discovered I still hadn't made the "cellini spiral", and "peyote spiral", so I'll make these soon as well. There is also another spiral I'd never seen before which was just called "spiral rope".

I decided to make a spiral button for the clasp as well. I love the way it turned out!

I've started the "single spiral rope" and I've nearly finished the 3d teddy bear. Then I'll make some more spirals. You can see them all on my website http://craftcove.weebly.com

Beaded Spirals

I've made so many different types of beaded spirals, and I've now discovered a new one! This new spiral is called the "Flat Spiral". I'll be making it soon.

The ones I've already made are: "Dutch Spiral", "Spiral Netting", "Aussie Spiral", "Russian Spiral" and "Double Spiral Rope". A couple I meant to do at some stage but never got around to doing were: "Triple Spiral Rope", "African Helix" and the "Cellini Spiral". I'll get around to them all at some stage, but I'm always finding other beading projects to do. Currently I'm making my second 3D beaded teddy bear from 3Dbeading.com, and I'm alternating that with my first "Zulu" Beaded Bracelet. It's not often I make more than one of each item, but I loved the teddy bear so much, I just had to keep one for myself.

You can see all my work on my web site Craft Cove

So next on my list will be the "flat spiral".

Victorian Bushfires

I think most of you, by now would have heard about the devastating bush fires in South eastern Australia. There are nearly 200 people dead, thousands made homeless, hundreds of houses have been destroyed, thousands of acres of bushland has been burnt, and it's still going. Not all of the burnt out houses haven't even been checked for bodies yet, and many haven't yet been identified, many people can't get back to their houses to see if they're still standing. This has been the worst couple of days for Victorians ever.

Please give to the charities to help these devastated people and communities.

You can give to the red cross at http://www.redcross.org.au

How to wear an ear cuff

Start at the top of the ear where the ear is thinner. Slide the cuff downwards over the cartilage, while turning it towards the front.

The cuff will sit from the outside of the ear, and over both sections of cartilage on the middle part of your ear.

Squeeze the ring section slightly, if necessary to get a snug fit.  This is only necessary before the first use.
