Floral sparkle
Editor’s letter
t’s Christmas! So, how did it happen that I blinked
in June and now it’s December (OK, technically
November). Still you know what that means,
it’s
Christmas!
Yes, it’s that wonderful time of year again
when we all love to talk about parties and over indulging
in chocolate and wine, oh or is that just me, oops.
Ok, so I guess that you’ve picked up
it’s Christmas!
and
as we like to do this time of year, we’ve fi lled this issue
with every kind of party and sparkly design you could
want. We’ve bells and tassles, red and gold, wirework and
clay; what more could you need than that?

In this issue I’m a big fan of Sue Mason-Burns’ Floral
sparkle (p10). You can’t go far wrong with a few crystals
and chainmaille, it’s a great combo. Claire Humpherson’s
Druzy dreams (p26) is also a lovely combination of gold
wire and a beautiful purple druzy stone, simple and
very elegant. If you don’t know what to get your friends
who love their jewellery then check out Debbie Bulford’s
Jewellery wrap (p30). It’s a technique to make a soft wrap
for your precious jewellery out of a beading mat!
So now all that is left to say is I hope you
have a very merry Christmas.
