Is it possible to make too many bracelets? I really enjoy making bracelets, they don’t take very long and are great for experimenting with new techniques. Also, if something goes wrong or your idea doesn’t work it isn’t quite so demoralising when you decide to take it apart. Anyway I decided I had made too many bracelets this year so to start February I have made a pair of earrings:
Of course, I had already made a bracelet. This is an idea that comes from one of Linda Jones’ books on wirework jewellery.
It uses coils of wire, which I made on an old knitting needle and glass beads on a wire frame. The clasp is part of the armature of the bracelet which means it is important to make it the right size. As I got over enthusiastic with my coiling it is too big for me so it will probably end up as a present for a friend.
