The beads are these gorgeous porcelain giraffes I picked up at an amazing beadshop in London called beadworks (I spent far too much money but it was totally worth it!!). I couldnt find anything suitably African to match, then I came across these clay beads in a drawer. They're mostly greeny coloured so I wasnt sure how well that worked with the blue of the giraffes, but I think the contrast gives it an African kind of feel.
I also tried out a herringbone wrap for the first time! This was unsuccessful at first, but I kept at it and got it right in the end! =D
So yeah. I'm still not 100% sure about the colour, in two minds about whether or not to use up the rest of the clay beads and make a bracelet using the herringbone wrap.... we shall see. Opinions on this would be welcome!!
ooh very snazzy :3 they look great i love the porcelain giraffes!
