A lady from my office posted on our work online
notice board if anyone was interested in joining her to learn about jewellery
making during our lunchtimes. She was a
big fan of jewellery making and it would be an excuse to get away from her desk
at lunchtime.
As another fan of crafts and jewellery making
and another person who works through lunch, eating at her desk, except to stop
for prayers, I decided to join her.
We met with a few others and got talking and
sharing ideas. Her work is amazing and we enjoyed looking at the examples she
brought in:
So the following week, I took in some of my
beads and asked her to show me some techniques:
I had these very pretty square blue beads and
wasn’t sure how to make best use of them. The resident expert bead weaver
showed me how to wrap wire to create different types of links and clasps. I
made a few messy attempts, but now I’m very keen to practice and make a whole
bracelet.
I shared the beads with another lady who wanted
to try her hand, and she made these pretty earrings.
Now I’m looking forward to my weekly making and
chatting lunches, it’s inspired me to play with my beads again insh'Allah.
