That might be fun! I'll have to look them up.

Oh yes! You really should! Downton Abbey is wonderful, and the jewelry is fantastic!

Oh, I'm almost always beading,,,,,,,except when Downton is on. Then I'm paying very close attention to the accessories each lady is wearing, as well as paying attention to the plot. I'm always multitasking; if I don't I think I'll blow up! (lol)

Odd you should mention that: I always seem to find a boatload of beads in between my sofa cushions!(rotfl!)

Reality TV is not my thing. Downton Abbey is a quality show. But my free time is spent beading......I listen to a lot of action series on TV (husband watches), a glimpse from time to time.

My TV chair has a layer of seed beads !!!!!

Oh yes, Art Deco is one of my absolute favourites; the geometry, the elegant, clean lines, the colours (not that garish nonsense you find down in Miami, FL, mind). I have a lovely Art Deco tea set I purchased at auction several years ago.

I could see Lady Cora wearing your bracelet, and I think it would definintely be to Lady Mary's tastes. It's possible even Lady Violet would wear it! I do so love Downton Abbey. It's a wonderful British programme. Much better than the rubbish that seems to be the norm on American television. Too much "reality tv." It doesn't inspire me, jewellery-wise at all.

Valbeads:

Squee! More Art Deco! Are you watching Downton Abbey,Ingrid? (g) I love your bracelet.

Thanks. Well, it actually never accured to me that this could be Art Deco-ish. Hm, I think I have a thing for quite strong and clean lines. But hey, Art Deco is a word of honour to me. ;)

Thank you all for very nice comments. So strange to see the colors on the picture, doesn´t seem to be like the colors irl.

Well, some colors are very difficult.

I like the way how you assemble firepolished accent beads with seed beads! The bracelet is really gorgeous!

In fact it is the first time I have a chance to have a view on firepolished accent beads, can't believe they can keep consistent with other colors in such a peaceful way!

Thank you Donna, that is a huge relief! I am determined to not let it get me. I just bought the booklet, Stitch Workshop - RIGHT ANGLE WEAVE from B & B magazine. Maybe it will help...
