Beaded bead earrings - Adore

I present you a new beadwoven earring design from me - "Adore" for which I used Toho Demi Round beads for the first time. They are thiner than ordinary rocaille seed beads and look very interesting in a design. 

The earrings have a beaded bead as central element made of different bead shapes : two-hole CzechMates MiniDuo beads, 4 mm fire polished beads, Toho 11/0 Demi Round beads, seed beads size 15/0, pear shaped drops.

"Mademoiselle" little experiment

Hello everybody!

I used my beading pattern "Mademoiselle" to make a bracelet in a new colorway: blue, khaki and gold. Here is what I got!

I added gold seed beads on tops and the beaded bracelet looks wonderful with tiny gold sparkles. The original design used only one color of seed beads. You can see below the difference. There's so much space to experiment in  this design!

For the new blue/khaki bracelet I used:
chalk blue luster two-hole Superduo beads
permanent finish galvinised gold size 11/0 Japanese seed beads (Toho 557PF)
opaque matte olive iris size 11/0 Japanese seed beads (Toho 614)

If you're interested in making this bracelet, visit my ETSY shop or CRAFTSY shop to get the tutorial.

Enjoy beading and have a wonderful week!

New beading tutorial - Pyramid

I close my eyes and I see myself on the top of the highest pyramid of Egypt where I can almost reach with hands the deep blue skyes of the pharaoes. This is where the inspiration for this bracelet design came from, from this imagined beautiful picture of the greateness of human and nature creation. Now, I can always have it with me on my wrist! :)

This is an advanced beginner to intermediate project. Made with 6mm two-hole cabochon beads, 6mm two-hole Kheops par Puca beads and seed beads size 11/0.

Netted Ring Tutorial

I've been workig on a few beaded ring patterns these days and "Netted Ring" is the first from the series. It is made with seed beads only using the circular netting stitch. For rings I like using metal ring blanks because they make the ring more solid. 

The "Netted Ring" features a beadwoven floral rosette made of seed beads embelishing the round pad of the ring blank. This beaded ring works up fast and is fun to make! Fits perfectly day to day wear and for special ocasions.  

For tutorials go to my ETSY shop or CRAFTSY shop.

Have a wonderful week!

New Beading Tutorial - "In Bloom" beaded earrings

Good evening fellow beaders!

I've been playing with my beads as I often like to do and designed some delicate and romantic earrings. I called them "In Bloom" as they remind me of flowers blossoming.

These beadwoven earrings are made in two color combinations: the first is bronze and the second is made in gentle pink shades. They are made with round glass beads, 11/0 seed beads and small daggers beads.

Here goes the pair with bronze 11/0 seed beads (Toho 221) and rainbow frosted dark topaz 11/0 seed beads (Toho 162CF).

For the pink pair I used inside color lined terracotta luster 11/0 seed beads (Toho 186) and transparent frosted rosaline 11/0 seed beads (Toho 11F). 

And the two earrings together :)

The beading tutorial for "In Bloom" earrings is available in my  ETSY SHOP  and  CRAFTSY SHOP.

Have a wonderful week and enjoy beading! :)

More pictures with "Precious Beads"

A few more pictures with "Precious Beads" in action! :)

For the beaded beads I used two-hole Superduo Beads and seed beads. Then I mixed the beaded beads with all kind of glass beads and made these bracelets.

And the mint green beaded bead went for a necklace: natural green turquoise rondele beads, natural round green agate beads and 7/0 bronze Matubo seed beads.

The tutorial for the beaded beads "Precious Beads" can be found in my   etsy shop   or   craftsy shop

"Precious Beads" in pastel colors

This is the first time I use soft pastel colors seed beads in my beadwork. I normally like strong, saturated colors and high contrasts like black and red or different combinations of complementary colors like blue and orange, yellow and purple or red and green. Even for my clothes I choose bright colors, something you would notice from distance.

So, there were no pastels in my life until this beading project. I had some soft colors in my bead stash which I never used before and didn't have any idea what to do with them, they didn't seem to fit in any beadwork of mine. But if there is one thing I learned from all these years of working with seed bead is that every color finally finds its perfect match. Just have to have a little patience (sometimes years of waiting! :)

These are the beads I made, different pastels (lavender, pink, yellow and mint green) combined with gold and bronze Superduo beads.

And here is the way I used these beads in jewelry projects. I think they look wonderful, soft, classy and rich.
