Further adventures in crafting

My wife’s been busy making crafty things again. As you know she’s a tireless explorer of different craft projects and gets through more in one weekend than I get done in your average month. This time around she’s turning her hand to wire bracelet making, and as usual she’s invested in a range of books, equipment and tools. She’s only made a few so far, but this is the one she’s most pleased with:

This one is copper wire shaped around a wooden mandrel, bound at intervals, with beads threaded on to make the pattern. As usual I’m very impressed. The other fruits of her labours can be seen here. She’s already taken an order from someone at work to do some more! I think Janet pretty much has a good time with everything she tries, but she’s particularly enjoying the bracelet making at the moment.

For those of you not interested in craftwork, here is a cute snoring three-legged cat:
