During Lockdown I have been very busy beading and in particular I was able to do Lynn Firth's fab Bead Embroidery Course, again StitchnCraft (closed now and sadly missed) and here are some pictures of my samples.  This course was so enjoyable and I learnt so much about techniques and also using "new to me" beads, especially the amazing "O Bead" check them out!!
