A number of years ago I bought a kit for a beaded bauble from
Spellbound Beads, the design was called Starry Night Bauble and I loved it. Last year while at the "Ali Pali" Exhibition I found another bauble that I thought I would like to make so again bought the kit. This year I decided to make a few more and searched Pinterest for some inspiration. You may have seen some of them in
This post. What was not known is how addictive beading baubles is!

| Lots of different ones, |
The one I really wanted to reproduce was the very first one I had made
 |
| In my opinion its a stunner |
I generally keep all of my patterns, but I have searched every draw, cupboard, shelf, box and cannot find it, SO lets have a play at working it out myself....
Goodness knows where to start, this looks like a spider!!!

| Wish I could remember how to start!! |
lets start at the top
 |
| looks OK So far |
 |
| 3 stars and the glass bauble at the ready |
It took a few more hours but I think I've cracked it
 |
| Phew !!! |
The glass ball I had bought for this ended up being too big so the beading wouldn't fit. Boo Hoo! I might just try to make some of the beaded dangling stars and somehow hang them inside my glass ball.
I think in the New Year a trip to Lichfield is called for.
What beautiful baubles. I love making them too.
