Grad Day Jewellery

Morning Everyone!

The day is nearly here! After four years of hard work and partying, my daughter Beth's Grad Day is tomorrow. It's going to be rather posh, the ceremony is in The Royal Albert Hall no less. I have my outfit ready (dress and jacket - I'm calling it my Teresa May outfit!), and yesterday I put together some jewellery using the beads that I bought at the Knit & Stitch Show last week.


My dress has a red, orange and black design, hence the bead colours. I made two earring designs, and I think I'll wear the shorter orange and red ones, as they show up better against my fiery red, newly dyed hair.


The large beads are agate, the black are onyx, and the rest are glass. 

I'm off to make some more preparations now. Have a lovely day!

  6. Oh my, you are a lady of many talents and you must have so much patience to create such intricate jewellery - amazing! I adore the colours and the orange earrings would be my choice too as I love the vibrancy of the orange beads and the way they are patterned 😁. Have such a wonderful time tomorrow celebrating and many congratulations to Beth! Hugs J 😊
