Can't sit still, can't crochet, can't use my arm a lot ... so made these simple beaded necklaces.

workshop@Mieke Recour
About 2 weeks ago I attended a workhop given by Mieke Recour :
working with silk fibers (sieraden aan een zijden draadje)
The material and technique where totally new for me.
She gave us an introduction on coloring the fibers, shaping them into tiny flowers and round beads in the first session.
The second session (one week later) was used to make the
actual necklace and earrings.
She teached us how to bow silver into earrings, knot the cords and make a pretty necklace.
I enjoyed this workshop very much as Mieke is such a nice, calm and patient teacher.
The jewelry she makes is every so light to wear and has
very rich coloring as she tends to color the silk herself.
(she was also participating in the 1m² event)
If you are quick, you can still attend the workshop she is giving
next week.
This necklace was not included in the workshop, but as I had
one flower left and some fimo beads, I made this one extra.
Thank you Mieke for sharing your knowledge !

The 1m² event in pictures
A big 'thank you' to Mitsy from Artmind
to make this event to such a great experience for all of us participants !
I tried to take pictures when people came in and started setting up their booth on their 1m² spot.
Sorry that the quality of the pictures is not very good.
Ok ... 1m² is really petite !
Starting to build the booths
A real good idea from the Eeclaire ladies !
All of their handmade collections in boxes, it's really a surprise to open up the box and see what is inside, pick your color and have a seat !
De Knappe Knoopjes and het Stikstation
Jo Chapeau is still unloading her car
some even looked for a cute cover of their 1m² before started to build the booth
Pelkens Vilt ... the ceiling is the limit !

Still working on displaying her cute lampshades :
she makes the prettiest things !
Martine and Brigitte had a lot of fun building their enormous booth
for their cute little paintings
me ! I was on the groundfloor and even forgot to
take pictures from my sweet neighbours that shared this
space with me : Milatoko, Ambretine Koeketine, Lief
But you can find more pictures here.
Thanks to all visitors that helped to make this
day an unforgettable one !
Next one on 90 x 90 cm? ;-)
