On Saturday 23rd July, I had the pleasure of spending the day with Pat, Mags, Annie and Sandra, who have been good friends for many years. For them the day is about having a relaxing and enjoyable time together to catch up while doing something a little different.
We made bangles and bracelets, all slightly different. Mags made 3 silver bangles linked with a gold loop, much like one of my designs. Annie made a silver linked bracelet, Sandra a wide bangle and soldered 3 silver shapes that were from a very old ring, that had sentimental value, and Pat made a collection of 4 bangles that are held together. Time became a little short, so I am going to put the finishing touches to Pat's bangle....
We had a very enjoyable day, and ended the day with a lovely collection of jewellery.

Four happy students!
Here is Pat's bangle that I finished off including a loop much like my rings. Perhaps you might see bangles coming into my collection!
