Slightly Odd Arty Collage Badges
These badges were so much fun to do, although rather fiddly and time consuming. I made them a couple of years ago, put them in a pot and promptly forgot about them until now.

Peyote Earrings
I recently discovered a beading technique called peyote, an off-loom bead weaving stitch.

Leicester Cathedral & Guildhall
Whilst visiting family near Nottingham recently, we all popped over to Leicester for the day to look around the Richard III exhibition. We also took a look around Leicester Cathedral & Guildhall. This was shortly before Richard III remains were buried in the cathedral.

This week I made a few new bag charms. Some are made from scratch whilst others I created from earrings and necklaces I had either never worn or bought new with a mind to turn them into something else.
Three Bag Charm Gifts
The charm on the left I made in Dec 2013, and the other two in Oct 2014. All were given as gifts to friends.
