Some time ago I came across a really interesting stringing material called tubular nylon mesh. Ever since I first saw this product I just knew I would love working with it. I've made many unusual pieces with it and whenever I wear one of them it draws lots of admiring comments. But this is the first piece that has been published. It's called Evening Elegance and it appears in the August issue of Crafts magazine . If you're in Brisbane, all the supplies for this project are available locally, but if you're not, the stockists are listed in the article and you can buy them all online.

A 6 issue sub cost less than $20! The great thing about the digital version is that the print quality is excellent so I can print off the projects I want to try without addin......
