We had such a lovely afternoon at the charm bracelet workshop, run by our Sweet Herts Sister Kim of Kim Channon Jewellery - join her facebook group or check out her blog http://kimchannon-jewellery.blogspot.com/. We sat outside in the beer garden and created our jewellery masterpieces in the sunshine. With a pimms in one hand and my beads in the other, I managed to make an absolutely gorgeous bracelet! We all brought along old charms, trinkets and bits of broken jewellery and added them to our bracelets to personalise them. All the bracelets we created are unique (just like us!)and that's the best part. All the stones we used are semi-precious and the fastenings and gimps (tee hee) are all silver.
Some people also stamped their initials onto little silver discs and added them to their bracelet... this involved some pretty tough looking equipment.... reminds me of something a lumberjack might use!
It was lovely to see everyone who joined us for this session and welcome some new sisters too. We all want to say a BIG THANK YOU to Kim who did an amazing job teaching us some new skills and making the session so relaxed and fun for everyone. Fingers crossed Kim will be hosting some more jewellery making sessions later in the year... maybe earrings? I'm looking forward to that and I'll keep you posted...
