This is my first attempt at blogging. I am not a very active facebook user either. I think my venture into jewellery making has changed me in many ways. I painted and sketched and am always facinated with colours but I never had any interest in wearing jewellery- let alone making it. It happened a few months ago when I was surfing the web. I came across a webpage with a few necklaces someone had made. I started discussing about it with my sister (thank god for skype). This continued for weeks and by then I had found a bead shop closeby to home, joined jewellery making classes and was constantly googling for "how to make...". I was well and truly bead-mad. It was very calming especially working with seed beads (made me wish I had better eye sight). Learnt new words about beading everyday (like findings, crimp and round nose plier). I made many necklaces and bracelets. It was a whole new fascinating world. Hope you can join me in this journey. Please feel free to contact me on reyidesigns@gmail.com.
