I was asked by Beads & Beyond Magazine to join their Designer Challenge to feature in the December edition.  The Designer Challenge gives several designers a pack of goodies to make jewellery with and you have to make 3 projects.  No pressure then!  :)

I was SO pleased to find that my pack contained scale maille and jump rings and I had great fun making my Christmas projects.  One of the projects uses gorgeous brown/bronze scales that are really beautiful - in hindsight I should have made the statement necklace using those but for some reason I didn't!  Mind you, gold and silver goes with everything doesn't it?

Anyway, yesterday my November copy arrived and, advertising the December edition, is one of the projects I made!  Whoop whoop!  I really enjoyed making this actually because it's something I'd wear - always a bonus!

In the December edition, I've also contributed a silver metal clay basic project suitable for beginners.  So if you want to get a copy of this (or any other edition) you can visit their Facebook page or call 0044 1684 588599.
