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:
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

Some Easter eggs decorations from cardboard

We with kids (maybe I more ) decided to make some decorations for the rooms for the Easter which is coming. 

So we just need:
colourful paper
cardboard paper
scissors
glue

We should make a mess on the table,


 especially when the kidds are joining in. A real mess :)

So we just cut the shapes out, and glued different decorations. So the result is the following.
And let's count the eggs, punch a hole in the upper part and we have some decorations. There isn't much beauty maybe, but fun making especially when kids can see their decorations. 


See you soon wiht some beading hopefully
I.

I have been working on the project- I call it Mint Garden- it takes time. Oh it does. With breaks I have been beading for about less than two weeks. But it is because I do not have a lot of free time. For beadwork one needs a lot.

So it is here from the beginning till almost the end.



I love mint colour, I mix it with brown matte beads and reddish-crimson-purple sort of a colour.

So here is the final photo of the Mint Garden- very soft felted inside makes it nice to wear.

Cat "Pupa" tea and cofee mat

I have enjoyed creating this bead embroidery cofee or tea mat- it was my task in the online non- profitable courses where crafty ladies teach other crafty ones. That is just fantastic when peole can learn what they want and wish.

Ok back on the topic. So I have called the mat- "Pupa"- a cofee bean. So it is a bit of the work in bead embroidery. It is meditative, as you are not restricted to the wearing thing. Though my mom would like me to turn it into a jewellery piece :).
