Quick craft fix

Sometimes I just need a quick craft fix, to satisfy the urge to be creative, but also working with in a limited time. 
Reading about the Emerging Writers Festival in The Age last Sunday, the necklace worn by one of the authors interviewed in  the article caught my eye. I took a photo, got a paintbrush and some timber beads, and got painting! Conveiniently the paints were already out, as my H had been painting some of his handmade fishing lures earlier in the day.

Some old knitting needles and bbq skewers are handy for holding the beads while painting them!
Quite happy with the finished product! Finished with a quick rub of beeswax polish and anop shop silver chain, tah dah!

    WOW! Very nice. Inspiring might have to hunt in the stash for some beads.

    Wow! Very clever. A very accurate re-creation of the original.
