New for 2013

In the months since Christmas I have been busily working away on a new collection of jewellery, with a little bit of help from YouTube and my trusty Good Housekeeping Encyclopeadia of Needlecraft.

 Whilst sitting at my desk for hours playing with string might not have looked like work it was an important part of the process.

 So far, not very impressive.

 Getting somewhere...

I think I'm onto something!

It was also my first foray into the frankly baffling world of jewellery components, which lead to hours trawling Ebay, Etsy and various other sites trying to find the things I thought I needed.

And once that was resolved I had to splash out on (another) new gadget for my machine, though that was much less confusing.

Is owning 3 different kinds of zipper foot excessive?

And you can see the new collection after the jump!
