Bead and Chain Mail Woven Together!

I have been learning a new technique of mixing my two loves, Bead work and Chain Mail. This weave is called Centipede, and comes from the book Beadmaille by Cindy Thomas Pankopf.

Swarovski Pearl and Crystal Cuff Bracelet

I fell in love with this bracelet the moment I saw the pattern. Made from Swarovski Pearls (Powder Rose and Cream Rose) and Swarovski Crystals (Rose Satin), and finished off with a gold colour magnetic barrel clasp. Check it out on my Artfire! Stunning piece of jewellery for that special occasion. Any of our jewellery can be specially ordered, so if you like this design, but would like a different colour, just contact us.

BEADING WORKSHOP

We now offer a variety of BEADING WORKSHOPS which turn out to be a lot of fun and a great "girls" social time. Most are "hands on" and in a couple of hours, everyone can make an elegant necklace, bracelet or earrings for themselves or family. Beading projects according to time of year may be chosen ie Easter, Canada Day, Christmas etc. Each workshop is discussed with the Hostess who has the option to choose the project. We will have on hand a variety of beads & materials for guests to make their own choice for the project booked, or they can choose kits. Our classes are beginner friendly and held in your own home. Please see "BEADING WORKSHOPS" for additional dates when classes are held in our homes in Coldwater or Barrie.
