The new 'Winter Sparkle Special' issue of the UK magazine Bead has hit the shops! I received a copy today and I have to say it ticks every box; it's wintry, it's sparkly and it's special!
It's packed with all sorts of themed project ideas from quick party makes to more intricate sparkly wear. My project Daisy Sliders is on pages 13 - 16 and is a straightforward brick stitch and herringbone project that quickly produces a very pretty and feminine design that can be worn in a number of ways.
I made a necklace and earring set in an icy blue and called it Winter Sky.
And a bracelet or wrist corsage in gold and I called this one Winter Sun.
If you have a go at my project, don't forget to send me a picture and I'll add it to the Readers' Gallery page on my website. I can't wait to see what colours you choose for your Daisy Sliders!
Lovely (and chilly!) project!
