Earings for the bracelet "You and Me"

Hello

I have just a quick piece to show; the earings for the bracelet "You and Me" (a post is here )

As the client sternly had told me she needed earings, too. However, I didn't have any stones which were used in the bracelet... so I used the same Chech seed beeds and colour that is what links the two together....

 If you wish to make a similar earing or turn it into a nice component-  as I did in my next work ;) It is a tutorial- in Italian- There are subtitles in English

A similar pair: I think the earings from this wonderful blog briggancs- are very similar to make, they are just thinner and the stone is bigger.

So much for now, I keep on working on another small project, as summer is very beautiful, I make a lot of excuses not to bead ;)

Down the memory lane: my bead embroidery

I have forgotten to put my all greatest bead embroidery pieces into one post, I created them about one year ago, they are not worn by me very often, but are in my jewellery box, always ready for some action ;)

My most favourite I just love it due to the ombre effect, it is very fashionable currently
Blooming garden:

 

Then there is a mega piece, the pattern is based on Serafini patterns for bead embroidery collars, it is very big. 

 And two cuffs

Agne

 

Happy beading 

 Remember your greatest pieces ;)

My new pieces peyote

Some of my new beaded works- the rivoli beaded around in peyote. Some blue stones added, quite wearable due to more colours, than one.... :) I like those earings a lot. ;)

A brown pink necklace and about a fringe

Hi,

I have completed a necklace- Blooming Earth (Besiskleidzianti Zeme in Lithuanian). I have seen the inspiration on this blog tacklethatbeadstash . It is great and the topic was pink, brown and cream. And beaders had to inlude flowers- you can join in too this last week.  So it was wonderful to be a part of it with my favourite medium- bead embroidery (loving it right now). I bead embroidered a shape which I have cut out of felted material (from tigershop ) I glue two - make a stiffer version, the backing is leather.

It can also be used as a lamp decoration :D

The most awsome and nice thing is to try something new- I tried here a  bit of raised bead embroidery and made the fringe- with a needle size 10 (very thin) and thinnest nymo thread .

All in all, the fringe makes it just wonderful, flowing and very extremely soft to touch. I like the effect of it.

I would like to talk somehow about the fringe as I have descovered it in fuller power just with this necklace, earlier I used it only as a part of earings, on a smaller scale. So it is just wonderful As Inspirational Beading IB )claims "Fringe is a beader's best friend" I completely agree with this point. We can see many fringes- a simple fringe, like I used; a leafy fringe (in the tutorial here- leafy fringe ), a double fringe from the book Amulet Obssession by B.Elbe (two fringes one on the other).

It isstill in fashion for 2012 so here are some examples:

There can be even a box with a fringe- there is an infinity of possibilities.

Happy beading and fringing :)

Bead embroidery some newer items

I have been obsessed by bead embroidery for the last two months, I have taken part in this learning process (Auksarankiu Akademija- the Academy of Gold Hands- :) something like that. The techer was great the students wonderful. It has been a new experience going beyond my abilities, exploring this tehhnique the colour world.

So these are my last things, the two previous have been posted here before ;)

In this one I have used some soutache details for the tree, some arylic roses, Japanese seed beads and one earing a sibling of the lost one- USE SOMETHING LIKE LEFTOVERS AND TRANSFORM THEM INTO SOMETHING YOU LIKE.

A bead embroidery necklace Eternal Blossom (can be transformed into a belt, just needs a longer tubular peyote tube)



Then there is Green Sugar pendant

Then I have tried to make a bigger priece which has been a real  challenge. Mmmm really on needs patience a loooot of patiene. This necklace )(bib) could be joined with fabric, and could be the beggining of a blouse :) Here I hev used three nefrite stones, chech beads (presiosa), chinese beads, acrylic cobochons) etc.
The necklace Herra

 

So that is it for a while. I will join  you soon, I have one more bracelet, combining soutache and bead embroidery techniques. Mmmmm lovely. This is to come. Also I will transform the earings into bead embroidered ones (due to  the fat that I don't enjoy the colour of the original), also a combinations of freeform beadweaving and embroidery is coming up. I have a vision in my head. That is the nicest phase.

And the last bracelet created not during my so called studies but after- Bracelet Agne (and earings)

Now get insipred with a small presentation compiled by me:

bead embroidery and a bit of colour

Here is the lovely place to go for some inspiration, for loads of inspiration. For me it is artistic a lot.

Take care and have nice time and enjoyment while beading. Small beads vast impact.:)

Best wishes
