I have certainly lost my sparkle over the last week since catching a cold. In the early stages I thought I would do some gentle crafting and I looked for sparkle among my crystals and gemstones.
Looking ahead to the party season I thought I would have a go at making some dangly earrings using glass beads and antique copper findings. It was tricky cutting the tiny chain links to the desired length especially as my eyes were constantly watering!
I have not done any more jewellery making since the end of last week. I have gone on a 'go slow'. Everything requires effort; even getting showered and dressed in the morning.
I'm not sure if I am going to make any more earrings like those above. I don't know if I should concentrate on using real gemstones as they seemed to sell well in my etsy shop.
Well. I am off for a lie down now. I hope to be back properly in the blogging World very soon.
Well you may have lost your sparkle but those ear-rings have certainly not lost theirs. They are beautiful. I am sure they will sell well too. Hope you will soon be back on form and sparkling like your jewellery.
