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

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 :

2013-02-26 010-a

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

Les 3 B

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.
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 🙂

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.

This PDF file contains 25 pages with step by step instruction together with computer made images to guide you through the steps and how to make this wonderful pendant. And some photo’s of the samples.

Project Difficulty : Intermediate.

I will email the PDF file to you within 24 hours of receiving notification of a payment.

Please make sure that you filled in the right email address when you order this tutorial. I will email (sieradenvanbianc@gmail.com) you within 24 hours after receiving payment. Unless it prevents me, due to unforeseen circumstances, from sending you the file.

Well that’s it for today…

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!

Helaine

And two more pictures of Dianthe:

HP-006 'Dianthe' A

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!

Dianthe – a beadwork pendant

So, yesterday I’ve been playing with some beads and babyspikes and this is the result… I’m still debating if I should re-do the pendant and get the spikes a bit more tighter on it… and if I will keep it for myself or that it will go on the website for sale…

Off course I won’t forget to post the photo that goes with it *laughs*

'Dianthe'

In the middle sits an 18 mm bezeled swarovski rivoli. I used 11/0 and 15/0 seedbeads, small cubes by toho, firepolished beads 4 mm and babyspikes 5×8 mm.

Hope you like it!

See you next time 🙂
