I had been watching beading videos that came up in my youtube feed, and I just couldn't help myself. I just had to go and look for my stash and try if I still had it in me. Cat saw them on facebook and convinced me to activate my account here. In the beginning I had to get used to holding the needle again, I had my hand broken in 3 places a few years ago so that was a challenge. I dropped the needle countless times but I didn't give up. These are the earrings I made after 10 years of not touching seed beads.     |

The day after these I made some earrings use the baroc beaded bead pattern I made 20 years or so ago. I still love making these and the look of them. I used 4 mm bicones, 11/o and 15/o seedies for these. The ear wires I made from 20 gauge rose gold wire.    |

Carina, Nice pieces you have shown us. Don't worry about dropping the needle too often. That you can always pick up or replace. with my onsetting neuropathy in my fingertips, I drop things much bigger and hotter. But they are easier to find, eh. Thank you for sharing, Brad

Thank you Brad, honestly the needle isn't the only thing that I drop. Mostly I drop kitchen utensils or knives.  Thank you Cat. |

Wow, Carina! Those are beautiful comeback pieces; no one would ever know that you haven't made jewelry for all these years. Did you find that once you got started, your skills came back to you pretty quickly? I'm sorry about your hand, but I hope it doesn't keep you from continuing to make wonderful jewelry to share with us. Dawn |

Thank you ladies. I guess my mind still thinks in colours, patterns and designs. @ Dawn, I have done a bit of wire work of and on, but every time I did, my hand needed a week rest or so. With the seedies I didn't. I will have a look if I can find the photo's of the pieces, I think they where mainly earrings though. |
