I have completed my tiny castles bracelet and have been wearing it ever since! It is a break down of views of various castles that I have visited in the past few months including the Tower of London, Hever Castle, Scotney Castle and Leeds Castle completed with research into castles from various books from the library. It has taken hours to cut out the castles and drill tiny holes so that they can be linked together. Setting the little stones was a bit of a challenge because they are only 3mm. This is a very intricate business and takes lots of patience! I had to set the stones by hand because I didn't want to damage the castles by clamping them in a vice. I had an enormous sense of achievement when I wire wrapped the beads and linked everything together. I've had a lot of compliments about it and I can't wait to make more castle related jewellery. They have just the right sense of history and magic to them.
