I didn't put it out for sale often,
It needed to be work to hang right
It never looked right laying in a box
But then other reasons for it being taken apart.
My skills have progressed
I prefer a different style of headpins (These with a much thinner gauge wire)
I don't really have anything of this style on my stall any more
So it's being turned into a turquoise sea inspire charm bracelet. Much more my style. I even have little fishie charms to add to it at the end.
And speaking of retiring things, i think my bead mat might have had it too. Looks like I've spilt something on it at some point. I wonder if it will survive the washing machine again?
I always say I'm going to alter some of my lesser used jewellery but never seem to get around to it! These beads look very well suited to a sea inspired piece and I look forward to seeing the finished article. I cant believe I didn't realise you could put a bead mat in the washing machine! Mine could definitely do with freshening up but I was planning to replace as I was concerned it might go bald if I tried washing it!
ReplyDeleteI figure once it gets to the stage where i would just throw it in the bin, I'm not losing anything if I throw it in the washing machine and it disintegrates. It was going in the bin anyway *lol*
DeleteI'd recommend a wash that isn't too hot through as it's synthetic and might melt.
