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.



The "Adore" tutorial is available in my ETSY shop and CRAFTSY shop.

Enjoy beading!

Flower Power bangle in a new colorway

Hello everyone! 

When I started making this beadwoven bangle I had very few copper 11/0 seed beads (actually dark bronze, but I like to call this color copper because that's what is looks to me :)). But I had already chosen the colors I wanted to use for this project and didn't want to make any other modifications to it. However, I wasn't sure if that quantity of seed beads I had was going to be enough to make the entire bracelet. 

I started beading and I was hoping and hoping and hoping ...  and only a few cm before the end I ran out of copper seed beads, I was almost there ... I had everything I needed to finish the beaded bangle except for the little copper seed beads! There was no other choice but to put put this beading project aside until I would make an order for the materials I needed. 

But then I thought what if I would just add a magnetic clasp? That's what I did and there it is - my finished "Flower Power" bangle in a new colorway!


The colors I used are: 

dark bronze 11/0 Japanese seed beads (Toho 222)
rainbow light topaz/sea foam lined 11/0 Japanese seed beads (Toho 952)
aqua travertine two-hole Czech Superduo beads

There's a BEADING TUTORIAL available for this bangle in my ETSY shop or CRAFTSY shop.

Have a great week and enjoy beading!

New TUTORIAL - "Herringbone" bracelet

New TUTORIAL!
I just finished writing and uploaded the "Herringbone" bracelet tutorial in my shop. I used two-hole superduo beads and 11/0 seed beads for this pattern. I made two color versions and am wondering what other colors would you chose to make the "Herringbone" bracelet?


The tutorial is available in my ETSY shop and CRAFTSY shop.
Enjoy beading and have a wonderful weekend! smile emoticon
