Another chilly day but the grey cloud has been interspersed with sun. I didn't venture outside but decided to play inside with my beads instead and came up with a new bracelet design 'Florabundance'. It really was a labour of love in terms of time and effort but I am pleased with the end result. I showed it to my husband who said it 'had a lot going on'. He has a point!
A stretch bracelet that is chock-a-block with Lucite flower beads and glass crystals. Three pewter bees 'nestle in' among the flowers. I really enjoyed designing this bracelet and hope to start putting this type of creation in my etsy shop which I have sadly neglected.
As you can see from the photo above, my plum tree has started to blossom. Sadly there isn't an insect in sight to pollinate it at the moment. I may have to appoint the help of a paintbrush to aid the pollination!
Until I hear the bees buzzing again and the birds singing, I will seek solace in creating gardens to wear in the form of jewellery in a bid to hasten their return.
That is so pretty

Such a pretty bracelet, Simone! You have blossom on your plum tree? There is nothing at all on our plum tree, no signs of life at all, I do hope it has weathered the winter and will blossom forth soon:)

ReplyDeletegreat word.
Take heart, Simone. Winter is indeed over. Haven't we both said we need to slow down? Perhaps spring feels the same way this year. Let's enjoy every tiny morsel.
Sending Happy Easter greetings.
Gorgeous bracelet Simone - so pretty!
ReplyDeleteIt must be a good sign surely that there is blossom on your tree? I wish it would warm up!
Happy Easter to you and your loved ones
