A nice day out

I went to the park with my sister, my niece and her best friend. It started as a very cold day but in the end, we had a great time. I even discovered a race I had never heard about before: the Red Panda.
Isn't that the cutest thing you have ever seen?! You just feel like cuddling it. And it is just as big as your average dog I would say. So cute

 

Then there was this bear. Quite funny...and chilled by the look of it! He took the pose for some pictures, then climbed up the tree and stayed there, looking at us and smelling the air. We couldn't smell anything but it looks like there was something really yummy around as the other bear was smelling it too!

Of course, I couldn't post without a little something jewellery wise. You know me, huh?
If you follow the trend, you must have heard about Shamballa bracelets: they are everywhere at the moment. So thought I would give it a try as I had the thread, and also some beads and discs I made during the summer. What do you think? Do not be afraid to comment. That's what also helps bloggers like me to improve in their work....and to post as well :-)

This will not be my only attempt, for sure.

That's all for today :-)

Chinese knots

I made some beads back in December for an order that go cancelled. I didn't know what to do with them until I bought a book on Chinese knots.
Decided to try mixing both and see.
Not so sure about the result though: found it nice at first but I wore it for a day and now think it needs some improvement: the knots don't keep their size so it gets bigger sometimes.

That's all for today :-)

I can't stand the rain, against my window...

what a lousy Sunday: it rained almost non stop. Hard to believe that we had blue sky and sun yesterday.

Anywho, here is my latest work.

A cuff bracelet (recognise the roses on it? lol)

and a necklace: this is the experiment from last weekend. I tried to make some sort of fabric effect. I am happy with the result. I mounted it on waxed cord using chinese button knots. I have also made two long beads so that it would not look too...empty, and closed it with sliding knots.

That's all for today :-)
