Dottie Over Buttons and Beads

Adele's turn to set the challegne on the new look Dottie's World. She has decided to challenge us to use either buttons or beads on our crafting, along with at least one Charmed download.

I decided to make a tag using Madison - Oh La La! My plan was to have three of the heart charm/wooden bead ribbons at the bottom, but it didn't work, so I felt I'd cheated a little by only adding one bead.

I then made a card using Madison 3-in-1 gift and added a pair of beaded earrings I made plus tiny beads to the bloom.

Both images have been printed onto watercolour card and painted with watercolour paints.

Thanks for looking

Take care, love and hugs

I've had a go at making a bracelet and matching ear-rings for a present. I went to a jewellery making demo on Saturday and she showed us 'memory wire'. So, I thought I'd have a go. Little did I know it would take me 40 minutes to glue the tiny silver beads on the ends! Am I patient enough to try again another day and see if I can get it down to half an hour? Watch this space LO

I used tiny beads and tubular ones in pale pink and brighter pink wooden ones for the bracelet and omitted the wooden ones on the ear-rings. Would I wear them? If I could wear silver and they weren't a present, I do believe I just might. Wonder if I can get jewellery bits in 9ct gold? Anyone know?
