I'm making preparations for a Christmas workshop in a couple of weeks time. My plan was to use coloured copper wire and glass beads. The only trouble is that the ideas in my head don't quite match what I can create.
The most elegant way to make this little star would be to use a single piece of wire but as I have discovered this takes careful planning and lots of thinking ahead. How many beads to thread at a time, where to make the first twist of wire, how many twists, what size of bead? I might moan a bit but this is probably what I love most about new projects. I like testing out my ideas and finding the best solution to a problem.
Whilst this was quite nice to mess around with myself, it's not something that would translate well for a workshop so I've decided that my little star will be one of a kind. I'm afraid it's back to the drawing board for me.
