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 herringbone necklace

The chalenge has forced to make a necklace which would be quite a task to get ready for. It was inspired by this piece It is called Ode to Grecian Urn by Jennifer VanBenschoten (this is her etsy page ). It reminds really something Roman or Greek. It's a very beautiful structural piece, using 5 rows of herringbone, of different bead sizes, the biggest issue is to avoid curling inwards.

Jennifer VanBenschoten 

Beadwork magazine says:
"Five different sizes and types of seed beads form the pretty amforalike curves in this lively ode to Grecian forms"

My piece is inspired but cannot be compared.

It is called The Jeans runner, due to colours  and herringbone pattern. It  seems like a runner on the table I don't know if runners can be on the floor, like rugs or mats. So here is the name indly suggestyed by my teacher.

I have rocked the colar on the turtle nec- really fun and wearable.

Happy beading

Three HR projects

I have used herringbone to make these HR bells- they have three branches- wonderful to suspend something suspendable from inside.

 The title is CIRCUS- very inspiring dangling beads, remind me of circus gown or curtains or clown's trousers pattern. It was fun to make. My wirework needs practice so much. ;)


Another project is a herring bone bracelet and earings- THE LAGOONI have used two techniques: twisted tubular herring bone and branched herringbone. This is the tutorial for the twisted one at Inspirational beading page.

My kids' impatient hamster came into the scene :)

The last piece is beading around the rivols- quite easy to bead with herringbone as well. THE HELIAD'S EYES

Happy beading and trying herringbone- for me there is one last it seems HR prioject a necklace....

Herringbone necklace

I have just started to do something with  herringbone stich, actually I know it quite a bit... In my inventory there is a bracelet, a rope and that is it. Yet this rope is very easy to make consists just of two beads, can be joined with any detail or stone- very light, quick and easy to make, can be in any colour. I liked it....
I have called it (Red shades of grey) :D

A beaded bead detail (RAW again)

I have finished a beade bead (after having redone this detail twice it is still not perfect). However, it was very intersting to make and try out can be as a focal or as a part of a necklace, a smaller version can ebcome earings :) anything... It is done in RAW.

 The pattern is here- make a square and join ;)

Have a nice day ;)

"Cranbery Snake" RAW Lariat

I am so happy it is my first lariat. I finished decorating it yesterday.. I have called it Cranberry Snake. It reminds a snake a bit. I used 5 colours Toho seed beads, purples, silver and black. For the decoration- keishi pearls and some red corals, geen seed beads in two colours. I have put a cord inside so it is very bendable and very flexable :) Like it a lot, that it is not stiff....

Our teacher's Vitalija's kind comment ( Fantastika, Inga-G. ! dar tokios gyvates-spanguoles negirdejau! Ka reiskia zmogaus fantazija! Sita spalva daugelis megsta Idomiai tie perliukai isikomponavo… darbas "gutukiskas" , kaip visada. Grazuolis zgutas! ) - that it is beautiful, and quite stylish, and full of fantasy ant the colour is popular) I am in the ninth heaven....

So CRANBERRY SNAKE:

Happy beading and trying out a lariat :)

Continuing RAW spring fever :)

Hi

I am continuing in a RAW (right angle weave) little adventure, in the class, mastering the stich which was neglected by me. There are so many pluses to it I can't express. I created a board on pinterest right-angle-weave-ideas. 

The things I have made for the past week:
 A green and yellow bracelet SPRING:

A set BLACK TANGO from triangular matte Toho beads size about 8, silver little round beads and 3 mm black bicones.
The pattern for the bracelet:

Have a happy day and bead your  RAW too :)

Right angle weave bracelet and earings

Inspired by the challenge on the virtual academy and our teacher Vitalija Velyviene- her FB page
The first topic is right angle weave (RAW). We had to come up with the earings and the bracelet if we had time :) The pattern goes like this:

I like this stich because it is drapy, very square, easy and fast to make and we can decorate it quiite easily. I like RAW very much. There are some initial photos

The following earings are not mine. These are wonderful examples from my classmates, virtual ones from the forum:
