 working on new designs

 I´m really happy with these drops! They are big and eye catching. Despite the size lightweight and comfortable to wear !

...and I decided to not take silk for my art-beads...the fabric ropes were too soft, it looks more chic and modern with stainless steel wires!  (I´m sure my wonderful silk fabrics will become another chance!)

Experimenting is all!

Studio Renovating Update... and "Ikea Hack"

 not ready yet, (haste makes waste!) .......
But here are some improvements we made:

My husband helped me  with the Ikea Ivar cupboards -, (actually it was his idea to put them on wooden posts from wall to wall, clever! ) 

I cut the shelfs in half to get place for the tools on the doors.

I put some mosaic tiles on the sill

...and made a rack for all the ledges and bars ...

dowelled onto the wall, so the floor can be cleaned easily

 What is left, (besides approx. 20 additional "To Do`s"), is to prime and paint the door after having removed the old coating!

have a wonderful weekend all!

very variable

The finished necklace

Answer to a problem...

I need a tool to get a thin rope into a crocheted tube.....

Needles are way to short, and if they are long enough, they are too thick!

So here is what I made:

 First is to solder a brass wire to a circle

Bended, one end clamped into the bench vise, the other into an electric drill!

 Then carefully twisted.....

 voila..:    ready to thread the rope through the tube

How often did you search for something this year?

 I did it countless times!

and to express my thanks I donate every year  !
......The amount of a book, or a meal in a restaurant....It feels good ( and you get a nice mail then)...
They do need money to keep things running!

So, here is the link :

experimental stage

Drawing is good,...to try out is better!

Testing the length....

What would I do without cords, safety pins and Patafix!
Not really glamorous, but effective!
Stay tuned for the finished piece
