Hiya!

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

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!

Almost finished with the tutorial & I am working on a new bead embroidery piece!

Yes I finally finished the graphics today of the tutorial and now it just has to be tested…

I do hope that I can launch it this saturday… but I can’t promise it!

In between I began on a new bead embroidery project… It’s going to be a necklace that will be made of loose components…

The name I chose for the necklace is going to be Pebbles… Although you would think I called it after the shape… I actually thought about that lovely babygirl in the cartoon The Flintstones!

The pendant is quite large I guess… the cabs are made of stone that you usually use in mosaics… but why not use them in bead embroidery? It has a flat back… Just a tad thicker on the side… But that doesn’t matter to me 😀

I used 8/0 seedbeads for bezeling them… and 11/0 seedbeads to close them.

When I bezeled them apart from eachother I wanted them to be together so I glued them down on another piece of backing and stitch them on to that… Then a lovely genuine leather was placed as finish… I didn’t take a picture of that… But that will come later!

On the sides I used 15/0  seedbeads of 3 in a row because the side that you have to bead was quite thick and I couldn’t do it any other way… But it looks very nice!

The pendant piece…

On the next picture you can see that I left the middle open…

I had to order some more 8/0 and 15/0  seedbeads… Otherwise I can’t finish the necklace… They shipped today so I do hope they are here tomorrow or saturday!

I will keep you guys updated about the tutorial and the necklace!

See you next time ^_^

Change of scenery!

Hey there!

For the ones that read my blog, I’ve been busy with a change of scenery for my tutorials and blog.

As you can see I’ve kept it very clean and easy to navigate. At least I think so ^_^

There were a few reasons but the main one was that I cancelled my original hosting & domain for purebiart.com. First I was going to put my jewellery on here also but I chose to not do that and only for my tutorials.

You can always go to my (Dutch) website http://www.sieradenvanbianc.nl for my jewellery. I will be going to make a new website for that one also… But that will take a while I think.

I haven’t been very active with beads these last few weeks… Although I have made a new pair of bead embroidery earrings… Just have to figure out what kind of fringe I am going to give them before shooting pictures…

Well, that’s it for now! If you see any mistakes on my new website, don’t hesitate to contact me… I would appreciate it!

See you next time!

Short video with new photo’s of bead embroidery bracelet ‘Nenet’!

Hi!

I’ve been a bit ill lateley so I didn’t do much…

But today I’ve played with some software and made a short photo video with the new pictures of the bead embroidery bracelet Nenet!

 

Hopefully I will have more updates soon!

See you next time…

Nenet – A bead embroidery bracelet (soft cuff)

I’ve finished my third bead embroidery bracelet! The name Nenet means Goddess of the Water. It’s an Egyptian name and I thought it just suited this piece.

I am absolutely happy with it!

Of course I’ve made pictures today but the weather isn’t really sunny here so I have to make do with them. Hopefully I will get to take better ones soon!
