Wirework Rings Workshop

What fun! Last Sunday, my friend Simone and I attended a wirework ring workshop & had a blast.

The two Simone's sat next to each other (naturally), compared notes and did a tiny bit of shopping looking around later :)

Pictured here are some rings I made at the workshop and some which I practised making at home, after the workshop. They look a zillion times better in the photos than they do in real life ... hahahha!

You should see the rings the other Simone created. Her clever fingers worked some abracadabra magic on the wires and beads and she whipped up stunning creations in no time at all. She is super!

Still on the subject of super and rings, I "met" (virtually) a really nice person today who creates nifty wirework rings and other accessories. Her name is Cindy and you can visit her blog here --> http://starrydesigns.blogspot.com/ She also has an Esty shop.

Cindy, if you're reading this, all the best for your first show -- go knock their socks off!!

Your wirework is so clean & neat & even always!!! You have amazing fingers & cute ones at that! :)

Simone said...

Cindy!!! I really admire the work you do :)

You don't need luck for the show - you're going to do fantastically well. Not that I've done many shows before, but what little I've learnt from them can be summarised as such: have fun, have fun, drink lots of water, have fun, wear comfy shoes, have fun!
