Squares and Cubes - Earrings and Bracelet

Here's the rest of the set. Spent all evening till half past twelve at night to finish it.


Here's the bracelet in more detail. It looks so pretty and delicate in real life. For some reason it always look much heavier in the photo, however, these crochet wire creations are really light and delicate.


The earrings are quite long, but so light they're barely there. Lots of glam at very little weight.

Here are the earrings in a close-up shot.

Finished Tattoos

The tattoo on the hand came out quite well, but Ben smeared the dot in the dark area of the Yin and Yang centre so it's not quite as perfect as I'd hoped for.

This one came out brilliantly. Unfortunately, the camera decided that a flash was needed so the colour is not quite as intense as it is in real life.

Ben is really pleased with his tattoos although I wonder about his next choice, it would take me much longer, but he really wants a dragon......

Tattoo Madness

When I went to London with Ben to meet Toby and Penny, Ben and I went to Covent Garden first and Ben had a temporary henna tattoo done. He loved it so much that he wanted another, so I bought some henna on eBay. Here are my first two attempts with the original design underneath each tattoo.


This one is on his right hand.This one is on his left arm.

The biggest problem was to make Ben stay still. He didn't like that bit. I used free designs I found on the net and drew them freehand. Fingers crossed they'll come out okay. Now I just have to keep Ben from smearing the henna all over the sofa and not rubbing it off before time.
