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!

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…

Information about the tutorial:

When I bead and design I always look for names that clicks with the piece that I am making… With this pendant I came across Kallista. The name Kallista is Greek of origin and has the meaning: most beautiful.

Almost immediately I fell in love with the name and had to insert it into the title! And thus, Star of Kallista was born.

Well that’s it for today…

Busy with some …

Busy with some chatons, seedbeads and minidrops… Maybe I will throw in a spike or a dagger? Or do I have some other nice beads to play with? Think I’m going to have to go on a scavenger hunt through my drawers with beads 🙂

Helaine, a spikey beadwork pendant & new photo’s of Dianthe

I’ve been busy today but I’ve made some new photo’s of Dianthe and of my new beadwork pendant with black spikes that I named Helaine. I used 4 mm firepolished beads, 11/0 and 15/0 seebbeads. This one I will keep in my private collection!

And two more pictures of Dianthe:

Here you can see how deep the rivoli sits.

And also, I have found three testers for my pattern Star of Kallista… I am so happy that they can and will test it for me!

See you next time!
