Blue Lagoon Necklace

 Bead embroidery necklace with agate slice

My first bead embroidery project

 My first bead embroidery necklace completed about two years ago. The central cab I made from polymer clay - it was supposed to be faux fossil coral - I'm not too versed in polymer clay. I used many 15/0 and regretted it while working, because my embroidery needle did not fit through most of the beads and it took a looong time to bead, but it does look good. The most difficult thing turned out to be the backing, because I didn't choose the right material and I did my edging stitches too close to the edges. It seems quite fragile to me, so I keep it just to look at.

Another bead embroidery necklace that I made a year ago, this was my third or fourth piece in bead embroidery, and the first one that turned out the way I intended, having had a hard time with aligning the backing properly while sewing the edging.

Geometric pattern loomed bracelet

This is one of my first loomed projects. I only had a Baby Jewel loom at the time and used every milimmeter of it for this project, after which it sat in a box, because I didn't know how bet to finish it. The loomed portion was too short and I had to find a way to make it into a bracelet that didn't take anything away from the pattern. And finally last week I think I succeeded. It looks gorgeous on the wrist. It is listed on etsy if anyone is interested.

Flame necklace

After a long absence I am back and hope to keep this up for a longer time now. I've been working on a lot of exciting new things and will share some of them here.

I began bead embroidery which I did not have a smooth learning curve with, but now I am enjoying very much. It is time consuming, but the results can be spectacular. This is my latest work that I have also posted on etsy.

So many new beads to play with and so little time. I'm staying in the same design circle as last time with these earrings. Tutorial is here.

I really like the zoliduo bead shape - very organic and interesting to work with. This is what I came up with, after playing with them for the first time. Pattern is here.

This is a fun and easy element to bead, which can look very different depending on what type of beads are used. The tutorial is on etsy

 I know I went a bit overboard with the pictures, but I just couldn't stop shooting these ;)
