My Creative Space...It's a Sparkly Wheels invasion!


This week I feel like I have been going around in circles. 

Why? Because I have been making so many of Melinda Barta's "Sparkly Wheels"... 
...get it... wheels... round... round in circles [insert crazy, spinning head here].

I first made these for the last Margie and Me Challenge below.


and well what can I say... these little suckers are 
SO DAMN ADDICTIVE!

This time around I have decided to include my love of cabochons and am adding a gorgeous tigers eye cab as the centre piece.I have already stitched around the cab with some beautiful tigers eye fire polished beads and again I am using 3mm fire polished beads and size 15/0 seed beads.


I am absolutely l♥ving thes tigers eye fire polished beads as well as the Picasso mix fire polished beads.

I cannot wait to get this piece finished. I have been wearing my other bracelet to work this week and have been astounded by all the lovely comments I have received. 

A few people have even hinted they'd like to own one!

Hmmmm me thinks I am going to need to order some more fire polished beads!

The bracelets looks awesome! I think the tiger's eye cab fits there perfectly! ;)
I haven't tried making wheels yet, but looking at your makes me want to try. :)

I love those wheels also. They are fun to make and love the finished product! I love what you've done with them and the tiger's eye beads are great.

Thank you everyone for the lovely comments.

Debbie - you must give them a go as they are so quick and easy to make.

I should be able to share this piece in a day or two as it's nearly finished!
