A Beaded Pen.

This is a little present I made for my lovely Mother-In-Law - a beaded pen.

She loves green, so I mixed up about 7 different shades of green Japanese Miyuki Delica beads and just beaded them at random.

The pen comes blank, with a pattern sheet so you can draw your own design if you like, but as I was just doing random colours I only needed the row amounts and how many beads to put on.

The panels are made flat, then "zipped up" to close into a tube, the pen then comes apart and you slide the beaded tubes in place.

Makes for an unusual pen to have in your handbag, don't you think?
