Three More Danglies

I am quite pleased with my progress on the danglies today. I have completed these 3 and have 2 more ready just waiting for the beads. These are done the same way as the first one, just the image and selection of beads have changed. I really like the pansy one on the left in the photo. These are so much fun despite the challenge of picking up the beading needle with fingers that are reluctant to bend.

Danglie

Our Byhand Artists Yahoo group is having a danglie swap so here is my first ever danglie which I decided to try out before I sign up to the swap. Since my right hand still has limited use I wanted to be sure I could complete the swap and now I am sure I can. I used a wooden piece which measues .75 in. X 1.5 in. and has 2 holes drilled from top to bottom. I have about 8 to 10 different photos sized to fit and for the first one I used the single red pear image, some assorted biege and redish beads on heavy cotton thread in coffee colour. The image is applied with matt medium and is finished with a coat of craft varnish in gloss.
