My family and I are spending a quiet day at home today. I recently re-read the latest issue of Belle Armoire Jewelry and an article by Deryn Mentock inspired me to try making some wrapped beads. So I spent some time today at home working on that project. (Take a look at Deryn's blog, Something Sublime, to see some fabulous examples of wrapped beads.) I decided to work with the red, green, and white color scheme. And I used copper, rather than the steel wire. I am happy with the way these beads turned out, so I fashioned them into a pair of earrings and a necklace that I might wear tomorrow to celebrate Christmas.

Nice! Merry Christmas my dear friend!
Beautiful jewelry, Lynn! You did a marvelous job wrapping the wire. It's such a festive looking set and perfect for the holidays. I hope that you and your family are having a lovely holiday time.
I understand how you want to be more conscious in how you spend your time. I will miss your wonderful writing and blog posts. Take care, dear blog friend, and please do stay in touch.
