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 ^_^
