Necklace update!

Hai Everyone!

I have a small update for you about the necklace I was making… and here are the pictures of the necklace!

As you can see I have made pictures of both sides… with the innerbead popping side up and the innerbead popping on inside…

I can attest that the one with the innerbead popping up is most comfortable wearing. If you wear it on the other side it can wobble when you move…

Well, that’s it for now… Oh yes… I do have other news about Evanthia… I am currently waiting for new beads to further experiment and I already started with the writing of the tutorial… 😀

Love,

Bianc

Tutorial Acantha available now (dutch only for now) and a new tutorial/pattern in the planning!

Hi Everyone!

I finished the tutorial for Acantha today… although it’s only available on this moment in Dutch… I am still working on the English translation… I hope to finish the English version within two weeks…

If you want the dutch version just email me at info@sieradenvanbianc.nl to order the tutorial. As said in the last blogpost the price of the tutorial is € 7,50.

I am busy updating my website and when I finished the English version I will upload it onto the net… Then you can order it directly from the website…

I also will add it into my etsy shop (the english version only there).

Further I do have another pattern in the planning! I’m still doubting if I will keep it as a earring pattern or that I will make a bracelet out of it…

But, I do have pictures for you!

Evanthia - Oorbellen 1

Evanthia - Oorbellen 2

Evanthia - Oorbellen 3

I have called it Evanthia. It is another Greek name (love the greek names!) and has the meaning: the nicely blossoming flower.

That’s it for now… hope you liked the pictures! I will keep you updated about the upcoming tutorial for Evanthia!

Love,

Bianc

I am very happy with the results of it… and not bad for a first piece right?

Also last june I was asked to be a guest contributor for DIY Beading Magazine. This is a magazine that is available through iPad newsstand.

For more go to their website: http://diybeadingmagazine.com/

I’ve been featured in the latest (nr. 7) with my free pattern Lacey!

And then… more fun news… I’ve been busy with a new pattern/tutorial for you guys… More spikey business together with some rulla beads and more!

It’s a bracelet that I named Acantha, which is a Greek girls name that means Thorny, thorned, sharp pointed… Appropiate right?

The clasp is also beaded and fits perfectly with the necklace!

HSB-008 - Pebbles klein B

And I just finished these earrings yesterday! I am absolutely in love with them so they are going to stay in my private stash of jewellery!

I used the new rulla beads in these together with charlotte 13/0’s and spikes 5×12 mm.

Hope you enjoyed the pics & see you next time!

Finally, the free tutorial is here ^_^ & I finished the Pebbles necklace!

So sorry for the delay of the free tutorial!  

But, I finally finished up the tutorial and uploaded it to the free tutorial page here on my blog. If the link doesn’t work and you have a Craftsy account, you can also download it through Craftsy.

I haven’t updated it on my tutorial website yet, but I will be doing that soon!

Hope you guys like the tutorial & I would love to see some results ^_^

And I finished my new necklace! I absolutely love the result… I have to make some new pictures of it to show it to you!

See you untill the next update!

Free tutorial update: Pictures!!

Hiya!

Good news… I’ve made some pictures of the prototypes for the new pattern I’m working on!!

All prototypes with mark - small

Above:

All three of them shown in front. As you can see you can change the dagger for something else so you get another look or if you just don’t have a dagger laying around ^_^

Prototype black back - small

Prototype green back - small

Prototype lilac back - small

And these last three pictures are of the back. It does stick out but I think the backside should also be good to look at don’t ya think?

I hope you enjoyed viewing the pictures of the prototypes!

Free tutorial update!

Hiya,

Just wanted to let you guys know that I just finished writing the Dutch version of the free tutorial that I have planned.

The next step is to translate it to English and also make the graphics that go with it.

Making the graphics will cost some time, it’s not easy to do ^_^

Well, that’s it for now! Untill the next update!

The next tutorial is on the way!

Yesterday evening I’ve begun working on a new tutorial.

I was asked if there was a tutorial for my Golden Valentine ring… but I didn’t make notes when I’ve made it… but yesterday I’ve made an almost exact copy of it… I’m not completely satisfied but that’s because the colors aren’t really matching *mumbels*

Notes were taken and I just ordered new materials to make new samples!

The nice part is that you can also make an necklace or bracelet with this tutorial… I’ve made the one I finished last night in a pendant… Now to make it work how I want it…

That’s it for today… more coming soon when I get my materials!

 
See you next time…

Hopefully I will have more updates soon!
