I did it!!!

What you may ask...well, I learned how to do a split chain!! Doin' the happy dance!! I have avoided learning for too long.

This cute little Angel is by Martha Ess. It has split chains...8 little split chains. Just a soon been 100!!

So after making this one with too many cuts and ties, I decided it's time to learn. WOW...
what a challenge for me. But after a day of practice...by George, I got it!!

So this little one has a split chain avoiding to cut, tie and hide ends! I now will look at patterns in a 'new light'! This Angel has a smaller halo and is hanging on a handmade ornament holder.

'Vinnie's second round

I just loved this motif as soon as I saw Vinnie's work. Without a pattern I gave it a try. The little bead is more lavender then blue, but you know how camera's are...LOL
