Bling Bling Who's There?


Tiara,

Tiara who?

Tiara you want one too?

Shocking I know, and moving swiftly on…

In a brief interlude of none stock making for my various craft fairs, and shops, and whilst waiting for bead stock to arrive I thought I would have a little creative play with some very fine wire and some glass beads that I had knocking about. I’ve not done very much wire work, in fact none before. Unless you count messing around trying to make rings out my Dad’s lead solder when I was about ten (hmmm… lead poisoning, perhaps that would explain a lot).  So after sticking some loose beads on a bit or wire and twisting, a little thought popped in to my head. Moira from Lizzie Mars had asked me if I made tiaras. The answer to that question was no, but it in my little (taking over the living room) box of tricks I had  some white satin covered head bands so I thought I would give it ago. And here are the results. I must say I am quite pleased with them.






 The bag of loose beads I had laying around coordinated beautifully with the fine wire (which I got from the bargain bucket for 50p from The Bead Shop in Affleck’s Palace Manchester). Almost a little too much coincidence, but some might say there is no such thing, only fate. Either way I really like my beaded tiaras and I hope you do too.
