More Homemade Jewelry

While I'm thinking about it (and the person this was intended for has received it), I'd like to post pictures of my latest piece of homemade jewelry. I went to a watchmaking class last week and this is the fruit from my labor. I'm so proud that I have to show it off, especially since I gave it away. But, I'm delighted that I was able to give it to such a worthy recipient, and I bought enough beads to make one for me too, so it's all good.

My first home-made jewelry :)

If you remember, a few weeks ago, I made a list of a few of my goals for the year in my blog. One of them was to take up a new hobby, something tactile, and jewelrymaking happened to be the one I was most interested in. I'm happy to report that I had my first jewelrymaking session last night and here are the results of it. I made a necklace, earrings and a bracelet! This is possible only because all three were pretty easy to make. Tomorrow I'm going to wear them for the first time. I'm pretty excited about it.

Here's the whole set.

This is the necklace, both as the whole thing and then a close up of the charms.

Pretty huh?!
