Kumi & shamballa

Evening all,

I've completed my first Kumihimo tonight and thought I'd share it with you.  Also I've made up a shamballa kit from the latest Crafters Companion magazine with my own little twist....hope you like them.

This is my first complete Kumi made in gold and cream cord and finished of with gold findings and a dangle.  This is to enter into the Beading Friends Forever monthly challenge.....why not join in by calling over to their blog.   Next challenge for me is to do one with beads.

This was a plain black Shamballa kit received in the latest Crafters Companion Magazine....I've added my own twist by literally doing a twist knot rather than the usual square knot, I also added silver spacers to spice it up a little.
