Wire & bead fun

Good Morning everyone.

In my sheilding lockdown bubble i haven't really felt like papercrafting, so ive been playing with my craft wire and beads again, i can just sit and do it, a bit like knitting, once you've started it.


I started with a rainbow heart suncatcher - on my window to share the rainbow love.


A guardian angel - she has a large crystal prism  which when the direct sun hits it it gives out rainbows

Green Angel. 
 The wire is funny, although you start with the same pattern they all come out unique.


A little cat suncatcher


and of course i had to do a little lucky black cat



and lastly a mutant bumble bee๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€

This guy is my first 3 dimensional piece. About 4" wingspan, as he is going in the garden on a stake he  needed to be big enough to be seen. There is a large yellow glass bead inside his body which the light does shine through.  This was my first attempt so learnt alot for take 2! 


Items Used
1mm craft wire - various colours
0.25 gold tone wire (bees wings)
Various beads

I hope you are all doing ok, im finding my brain really struggling without the daily use/interaction.  I have memory problems anyway so trying to do some brain excersises daily along with all my physio.  Thank goodness for crafting keeping some of my brain active - i have plenty of papercraft projects to share from my 6wks without internet when i was crafting like a demon - think i used up my mojo so its taking a little break๐Ÿ˜Š.  Stay safe everyone.  Hugs Emmax

Greetings Emma, wow love all the fun beaded wire creations. Our shelter in place has been extended now until the end of May. It has become the strange new normal for me. I spend time taking walks and doing yard work to keep busy.
