Earth Song - Finished Object!

Earth Song is finished, yay! This is quite an achievement for me as I normally only manage fairly quick projects. I did things completely differently this time, I chose a colour theme and let the beads dictate where I went with it instead of knowing what I wanted to make right from the start.



I enjoyed the process and am really happy with what I ended up with and think that this is the way forward in terms of stretching myself creatively with my beading. I will still need to work the other way to build up stock for my Etsy shop but I am going to try and do this on a regular basis.

Happy beading!

Yellow Tulip Necklace

I'm continuing to develop my crystal tulip design and really wanted to see what it looked like in a traditional tulip colour. I found these lovely yellow firepolished beads and the pearl in my stash and knew they would be perfect. It took me a while to decide what shade of green to use on the strap, in the end I decided to use silver lined green at the core to add depth and a transparent ab finish which picks up from the yellow in the tulip. I originally had a more elaborate necklace planned but eventually realised that a simple one would be best to showcase the flower. I even took a halfway decent photo!

Pretty Flower Earrings

I am having a pink and green moment! Here are a pair of pretty pink and green earrings. Lucite flowers, green firepolish beads and sterling silver. I think I need a pair of these myself, they are perfect for the glorious sunshine we are having today!

All Four Corners Ring

The beaded ring obsession continues here with my latest design, the All Four Corners Ring. Incorporating a 10mm glass pearl, swarovski crystals and seed beads, this ring is made using 4 techniques, tubular peyote, fringing, picot edge and ladder stitch.
