Project ABC: J is for Jewellery

Remember the beads?

Here they are in their new disguise as a bracelet:

It was originally two different stings of beads but I never wore any of it so 

I undid it and kept it in my bead-box for future inspiration.

I used a wooden button from the haberdashery souk as a closer.

I like the blue string peeking through here and there.

Sorting Beads

I was trying to move one type of beads from my bead box to a separate little container.  It is easy to get the bulk of the beads out but when it comes to the last few it is quite a pain.

I couldn't tilt the box because that would mess up all the surrounding beads.  I am too impatient for tweezers, so I tried something else.

I took a drinking straw, covered the mouth piece with a piece of netting to prevent the beads from slipping down my throat.

I then sucked the beads up into the straw and blew them out again in the new container.

Easy-peasy.
