Bead and Button Bow.
I have been confined to the house since Sunday apart from going to the
doctors yesterday. I have got streaming eyes and nose. Sneezes, and strep throat. Put it all together and I have Pharyngitis. I feel like chopping my head and putting a cabbage in it's place. Now I am on Penicillin and sugar free linctus. I got my latest B&B last Saturday and I liked the bow on the front cover. I thought it does not look too difficult so I will see if I can make it to take my mind of my feeling unwell. Look at things for the largest one. I have 4mm pearls but no 8mm crystals. Got some filigree ovals but not the ones shown and in gold colour. No enough gold eye pins but plenty of silver. Only 28 gauge wire not 26 as stated. Looked at the small one. Got 6mm beads but no 3mm pearls, So I sat and thought. Well the silver eye pins would have to do. So would the 28 wire. Then I thought of substituting the 2x3mm pearls for 1. 6mm rice bead. Well I had a go and I finished with a bow of sorts. I have asked Vicki if she will kindly put the picture up for me so you may see it. I do not know of anywhere in Uk where we can get filigree disks. It is not a case of being able to nip into town to get some beads. The best shop is a half days trip. Shirley -- Shirley Shone |

Shirley -
I think you mean the bow on the cover of Beadwork, not B&B. I may be doing a purchase of filigree disks for my local beading group. If I do, I'll let you know and you can let me know what you want.

Shirley, I'm so sorry you are feeling under the weather! Your bow
sounds great - I'll be sure to check out Vicki's webpage so I can see it! Hope your strep clears up swiftly and you are right as rain very soon (we had strep here not long ago, too - no fun!!). {{{{{Hugs}}}}} Carol in SLC |

You could well be right Barbara. I cannot add 2 and 2 together with my
head. I think its filled with cotton wool. Shirley In message , Barbara Forbes-Lyons writes Shirley - I think you mean the bow on the cover of Beadwork, not B&B.

Feel better soon Shirley. Cold season is getting underway here and I gave a
co-worker a good telling off for coming into work with streaming nose and a fever. Silly girl, now half of us will come down with it. I can empathise with the cabbage head syndrome. Can't wait to see the picture of your bow. Marisa |

I do not subscribe but I get both through a newsagent in Chesterfield. A
standing order so to speak I tried to alter the subject to Beadwork but I was not able to do it. In message .com, Dr. Sooz writes Shirley -- do you subscribe to Bead and Button? (Obviously you get Beadwork) -- Shirley Shone |

Hi Shirley.
I am so sorry that you are sick. Have had the streaming eyes and nose thing. Very, very uncomfortable. I wish you a speedy recovery. I have seen your photo. I would stick with your current head, the cabbage would not be nearly as attractive. KathyH "Shirley Shone" wrote in message ...

Thanks Kathy,
We have just come back from visiting David on his ship. I had to go to collect my large bouquet of flowers for Mothers Day tomorrow. Since losing 28lbs my face has gone thinner so need to update the photographs. LOL Shirley In message , kathyh writes Hi Shirley. I am so sorry that you are sick.
