Some said that two of the most beautiful parts of our body are our hands. Hands do not only hold, throw, give and receive things, but also have great ability to express our subtle feelings to others.
Scan your archives, make your choice, and tweet it to @Flickr, adding #TwitterTuesday #Hands. We'll showcase the best ones on the Flickr Blog tomorrow.

This Christmas bauble was hand beaded with sequins and pins by me. I have a Christmas tradition. I bead Christmas baubles for a select group of friends every year.
Each bauble is 15 centimetres in diameter and contain hundreds of sequins, varying in number depending upon the complexity of the pattern and the type of sequins I use. All the sequins in this bauble are 5mm in diameter, including the flowers. The flowers are vintage French metal sequins from the 1930s in this bauble, so they are rare. Depending upon the colour of the sequin, I will use either a gold or a silver pin to attach it to the bauble. I always leave the flower sequins until last, allowing a gap in the sequin chain to pin them in.
These baubles are smaller than some others I do, and because it is a simple pattern which starts from the inside and is worked outwards in ever larger circles, each bauble takes approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours per side.
It is however, a labour of love which I do to pass the time throughout the year.

Ivy's affinity for animals doesn't only attract the cute and lovely ones, she also gets the naughty ones like Mr Bad Fox here. He's grumpy but still a sweetheart underneath <3

Had no intention of uploading this to flickr as there are several things that I'm not happy with, the rings in particular (which, for me are a little distracting). But this place is more a sketchbook than a portfolio, it's more fun that way :)
