Hello friends,

          Today, have selected some photos of my bead jewellery work....
I had made some small, very simple pieces when I was in school... played with bead weaving for a while......later, just left all that.... no idea why...

             It was my sister who compelled me to start those again... Well, it was just after my little prince was born, and I was at home still with a lot of time ( actually, not a lot.. but you know, whenever I could get some time, when the little one would be napping... )... And I knew that if didn't take up any work then, I wouldn't have the luxury of even a bit of time once I joined duty after my maternity leave...
            The first two pieces I made were from a single string of white coloured natural pearls my sister had... She wanted some new, yet simple designs...  and thus was I brought back to the world of bead work and jewellery....

            This is a simple illusion floating necklace ..... my sis showed me a similar piece she bought for my daughter and asked me to try the design..and here it is.... with a matching pair of earrings and a ring as well....
          And this is a simple single strand necklace of golden tube beads and white pearls, with a pair of hanging earrings as well...

                My sister loved both the designs and so, this was just the beginning of a variety of pieces of jewellery I made in a few months.... My mom too would give me suggestions... Needless to say, my darling daughter was the happiest... 

            This hobby of mine has taken a backseat now as it is too risky to work with little pieces of jewel- making materials including beads and tools when the little one is around... well , only for now... till the time  the naughty lad learns to stay put at a place for sometime at least ( I know, I may be dreaming when I expect that to happen soon... he is not even 4 years now... but, hopefully in another couple of years, I may be able to resume my bead work.)
Will post photographs of some more of my jewels tomorrow...

Bye ...
