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

And I am in a beading mood these last few days… A new tutorial in the planning and now another new design on the way already… although I am not sure if I am going to make a tutorial for it… Have to see where it ends first…

Here a peek at my beading tray on this moment:

Hope to have some more news on that one in August!

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!

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

A few updates!

I know, I know… its been waayyy too long since my last update! Shame on me!

For the last few months I have been busy with some new things… I finished my course methalsmithing for this season and I hope to continue in the new season…

Here’s the result of it:

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 tutorial is still in it’s testing fase but I hope to offer it soon on etsy, my own shop and you can order through e-mail. The price will be € 7,50.

Well… I think that’s it for now… when the tutorial is finished completely I will let you guys know!

For now… untill next time!

Pictures of the necklace Pebbles and a new pair of earrings!

Hiya!

Here are the pictures of Pebbles, my newest bead embroidery creation! I just love the greens in it…

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!

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!!

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 ^_^

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!

Free tutorial in the making and I started with a short goldsmith course! ^_^

Hai guys,

I believe I promised you for a while back that I would make a free tutorial… but I was doubting about what I should make… this past week I’ve been trying out a few things and came up with something…

I’m going to keep it a secret for now because it’s just in it’s begin fase…

Here’s a hint:  it’s got a 14 mm rivoli as center, some cute 2 mm glass pearls and superduo’s… There are more beads involved of course ^_^

That’s it for the tutorial!

And my other news… Since a few weeks I started a short goldsmith course! And I am soooo excited about it! Although I started with some test material… I do want it to be good!

Here’s a picture of the project I’m working on :

In my first lesson I carved the design on a piece of brass and started to saw.

In the third lesson I was finished sawing and now had to start with filing and sanding.

Here you see the side of the project that is filed and sanded.

After lesson five, I’m finished with the filing and sanding of it… In the next lesson I will start with polishing and maybe start with soldering!

I’m looking forward to my next lesson! It’s only ten lessons for this time… So I do hope to finish it ^_^

Well, that’s it for now! I do hope you enjoyed the pictures!

I will keep you guys updated about the tutorial… And when it’s finished you can find it on my new tutorial website!

See you next time 🙂
