I've been messing around with the premium options in picnik and I'm really impressed with what you can do. It's simple and easy to follow. There's no trying to figure out how to make something fade away or how to change the background colours. It was well worth upgrading to premium.

I absolutely love the colours in this set definately me colours. I always get lovely remarks from people when I wear it. The AB coating doesn't half make it sparkle -such a happy feeling set whether you wear the necklace or bracelet on its own its sure to get you noticed.

This one reminds me of being on a remote Island far away from anywhere. Where the sea is green the sands are golden and you only have to click your fingers for your next margarita. LOL I wish - happy dreaming.

Aaaaannnnnd another one but this time with smaller sized beads so the loops are smaller.. This one to has 259 beads sewn onto it - yep glutton for punishment. The end result is amazing so worth the struggle to attach the base of the ring.

Here is another sieve ring. It has exactly 259 beads sewn onto it. How do I know this I hear you ask. Well there are 37 holes and each hole has 7 beads stitched into it - 3 red 1 blue 3 red. will I be making anymore well lets just say I won't be sitting here making hundreds of them. I had more trouble attaching the ring base that I nearly pulled it apart. Glad that I didn't though as it looks amazing on. I used size 8 matsuno seed beads for this ring.

Gotta love this ring. It has 37 4mm round agates with silver matsuno size 11 seed beads.

I've had these sieve rings for I don't know how long. i found them today while rummaging through one of my boxes looking for something completely different. I bought them while shopping and you know how you pick things up to make up "some" day and that day never comes well today was the day for them to be made up. I think this one looks pretty cool. Its just over an inch long in diameter.

I think I feel a ring making session coming on.

Ok so here are the pics of the real thing. I've made 2 vines one slightly smaller than the other because she's not sure how far down her head she wanted the vine to go. I've used the Xillion Swarovski AB crystals 6mm and 4mm with a smattering of some 3mm pearls and 6mm light opal with sterling silver wire.

Hair vines

I made these as practice pieces. I've been asked to make some kind of hair accessorie for one of the girls at my hairdressers. She gets married at the end of August. Talk about leaving it to late. She'd originally decided that she didn't want anything in her hair but changed her mind a few weeks ago. These were a couple of the samples I made for her to give her an idea of what a hair vine was.
