Last weekend I sat down with a pile of my bronze bits and pieces and decided to make an effort to use some of them. As well as the usual findings there were also bronze charms, pendants, and bronze-coloured acrylic beads.
The first thing I made was a matching necklace and earring set, with a simple design of an acrylic heart and some red beads. It occured to me while I was making them that I'm lucky I didn't rediscover my problem with metals while I was wearing earrings. That could have been unpleasant.
Then I sat down with a big pile of beads I'd planned to make myself a bracelet with, and made a longline necklace buy stinging selections onto eyepins and linking them with short lengths of figaro chain.
Then I made a pair of matching earrings, as I like to make sets.
Apologies for thequality of that last picture. Blogger wouldn't upload it, so I've linked directly from Etsy.
lThere are still loads of bronze things left to use, and plenty of brass too. Lots to do in future!
