Thrills and Frills

April seems to have been a frilly month for me.  And an exciting one too.  I survived the challenging experience of taking a stand at the Towcester Flame Off, admittedly with my fudge as well as my beads, …the fudge is always popular with beadmakers, but it was nerve wracking to display my wares at such a gathering of my peers!  I was placed next to Anouk Jasperse who turned out to be also quite apprehensive….she need not have woried, her beads are awesome!

Up till then I had been not listing much on my Etsy shop this month as I wanted to have a good stock of my best beads, and the theme throughout April has been frills or wings of various sorts.

Then the frills sort of developed into something more like wings!

There has definitely been some sort of evolutionary process going on here….no idea where it will end up, or if, like the dinosaurs, it will end here!
