Workshop Weekend

Had a really good day yesterday at a tiara making workshop.  It is the first time I've actually been to a making workshop of some kind and I really enjoyed it.  There were only 5 of us and it was held at Precious Sparkle Beads  and the teacher was Dorothy Wood who is really amazing and I'm definitely going to get her book!

I had a really enjoyable time and am glad I went to learn properly how to do it.  The office girl at our Aberdeen branch is getting married next year and she had asked me if I can make tiaras so that was really what prompted me to attend.  Anyway here is my effort!




I am now looking forward to coming up with lots of different designs and colours.

I am also trying to come up with a new name for my shop - so would really appreciate any suggestions  - wacky or otherwise! It is actually quite difficult to come up with a name!

Anyway, while you are pondering, pop over to 1st Unique Gifts to see what everyone else has been up to this week.

Mich :)

    I've never heard of a tiara making workshop but what a great idea. I love the colours you've used and it looks really pretty, can't wait to see some more. I can't think of a name for your shop but i'll have a think. x

    This tiara is lovely. I used to make jewellery and also made a tiara for a friend who was getting married. I loved doing it, so pretty and sparkly! I see you like crochet too. I 'crossed over' from jewellery to crochet when I learnt to crochet in order to make crocheted wire jewellery. Thank you for your comment on my blog x

    I'm very jealous I picked out a tiara making course in Manchester, but I'm never free on the date it comes up. Glad you enjoyed it.
