Against Tristesse

2012-01-23T11:57:00.001-08:00

Every day outside it looks grey and sometimes more grey. Dark clouds and lots of rain, just wonder if you're not going through a depression ;-)
So my solution is that I need some refreshing colors against the tristesse. A good way to use my colorful handmade claybeads. Tada 3 short neckpieces to cheer me up!

Thanks for looking and have a great and sunny week!

Happy New Year

Wishing all my friends and visitors a Happy New Year!

May 2012 bring you good health and prosperity!

Finished!

2011-12-13T22:14:00.000-08:00

I have finished my long list of to-do for Xmas gifts. This is the last pendant from the row and as it's really beautiful I want one for myself too. The white one will go into a long lariat and several beaded elements will complete it. It's still in work progress and myself is excited if the picture in my head gets real. It's hard to take a good shot of white with electric light, sorry for the blurry pic.

At last 3 pairs of earrings what are a wish from a very special person. Ok, her wish was only for the pink ones, but as she is such a lovely person and so special to me I made her 3.

The needle is hot....

2011-12-12T00:13:00.000-08:00

as it's short for Xmas and there's much to do. Here are two more pendants made after a tutorial from trytobead in new colors. It's good that the receiver won't look at my blog so I can post it. The pendants are quick to weave and so a few more will follow. A little more time I need for the "Lady Godiva" collier which was designed by an russian Artist Olga.

Wish you all a wonderful week!

Hohohooo....

2011-12-05T22:58:00.001-08:00

it's St. Niklas Day and this one is for my friend Erika. It's in the colors she love and am sure she'll love it.

Wish you all happy surprises on this special day!

More from the Xmas workshop

2011-12-05T02:05:00.001-08:00

This pendant from trytobead is pretty nice to bead and I think nice as little Xmas gifts for some Ladies.
Red and blue are not so much my colors but that's not important for gifts. I'm sure there will follow a few more which are then more in "my" colors.
Wish you all a wonderful christmassy week!

Christmas is coming

2011-12-01T06:31:00.001-08:00

A few weeks ago I've beaded a necklace for an very good friend in Singapore and my hometown friend fell in love with this necklace too. So for Christmas I thought it is a good idea to make another one with a few changes. She like pink and the fuchsia facetted beads have exactly that pink she love. After I have finished this necklace one day she told me that she only have colored necklaces and she miss a black one. Ok, what are good friends for, haha. I found a nice tutorial at Pencio and pick up black pearls and tada a black collar is ready. Today we got rain, rain and more rain and the complete day it is dark outside like on evening so it was hard to get good shots from my work. These photos are the best I could get to give you an imagination from what I'm speaking.

Journey

2011-11-23T22:57:00.001-08:00

I named this freestyle embroidered cuff journey as the beads takes many directions. It's what I feel after taking many directions.... ways I come to the place where I want to be.
A big thank you to all my friends who maked me settled and welcomed.

You are the best

2011-11-19T03:26:00.000-08:00

said my Sweetheart yesterday and surprised me with alot of roses. There was no Birthday or other special day only for to say he's thinking of me. Is that sweet? Who needs more.
With the colorful pictures I wish you all a cozy weekend!

Red Sun

2011-10-13T12:27:00.000-07:00

The days are getting shorter, mostly cold and often rainy. How can I cheer me up better as with this beautiful carnelian necklace. So sparkling carnelian beads, a wonderful warm red to orange. These beauties don't need much work as they shine by itself.

Thank you Patricia for the beautiful beads!

3-4-5-6-Earhanger

2011-10-11T23:39:00.000-07:00

Last night I've tried the new free tutorial from trytobead. The smallest version finished up quickly and tada here is the result...

The 4-5-6-version will follow ;-)

A thank you to trytobead.

Something more....

2011-09-29T04:24:00.001-07:00

I had so much fun last night running through my beadboxes and arranging beads by form and color. For short my table looks chaotic but this is the result after the chaos.
Sometimes there's no need for an spectacular design, a small neckpiece in an matching color for your dress is beautiful too.
Again a few of my claybeads find a nice frame and I'm happy for my busy hands.

Memories

2011-09-28T06:28:00.001-07:00

Last night I got bored and what better to do is then running through bead-boxes, haha. I found these nice black green-speckled nuggets and shortly some nice matching clay beads I've done so far.
So the evening turned nice and hands busy and at least I have a nice set what will adorn a fall or winter suit.

Doing the happy dance.....

2011-09-18T02:20:00.001-07:00

I'm a big lover of old furnitures and several years ago I got this lovely buffet from my mother-in-law. Look the collage with before and after photos. The buffet is nearly 100 years old as we could see on a sticker at its backside.
These furnitures have a soul and I'm sure they could tell us many stories.

Anyway after our move I still have a free wall and this weekend my hubby found the sister buffet from my white one. It has the same sticker on the backside and we could see, it's the same company who fabricated both buffets. I'm totally excited that the old owner do not need it for longer and I could get it for an nice price. Yeaah!
Next spring I can start to sand the surface and then it will get white color too. Just had to share my happiness.

Bangles

2011-09-14T12:30:00.001-07:00

The first bangles takes some attention at my friends and family and so I thought I'll weave some more to surprise them.
One for the Honey-Bee, one for the African-Queen and one for the Silver-Lady. No names so it stays for the surprise, hehe.

Blues for September

2011-09-04T13:21:00.000-07:00

I couldn't resist and must try the tutorial from Peetje too. It's nice to work and one can play with color, something I love much.

I love these bracelets as they are very comfortably around my wrist, so you can wear them all day and not only for a special occasion.

Have a great week!

Surprise

2011-08-24T21:51:00.001-07:00

After a very loooong Odyssey I received loads of goodies from my friend Patricia. She sent it out after I returned from my vacancy as birthday gift. Normally I will receive from overseas in between 3 weeks but not as such long time. Anyway I'm happy it's not got lost on the way and very, very thankful that I have so wonderful friends who think about me for my birthday.
Thank you Pat for so much beautiful beads and findings to keep my creativity going. I love it all!

Ringeding

2011-08-19T13:41:00.001-07:00

From the Best of B&B Vol. 6 from Nancy Owens is this beautiful ring. As she promised very quick and easy to stitch. The ring-band is very comfortably to wear.

Have a nice and sunny weekend outa there!

Original Version Jewels

2011-08-15T01:17:00.001-07:00

Today I got nice daylight to take a shot of the finished original version of trytobeads Jewels. It's hard for my camera to get all colors right. If you want the original imagination of colors pls. go to the website from trytobead. You can believe that the mix of matte and shiny is great in nature. Very elegant.
I enjoyed stitching this nice pendant very much and have more color combinations in progress.
On the second photo you can see the difference between the origin and my cut-down version. I like them both.

Have a nice week!

Jewels

2011-08-12T02:17:00.001-07:00

This is the smaller version from trytobead. Can't wait till I get the regular sized beads for this beautiful pendant and so I used what I have in my boxes.
The original sized pendant is ready too, waits to get photographed ;-))
Looks great on a short chain or cord and is definately an eye-catcher.

Maritim Teatime

2011-08-09T13:59:00.000-07:00

Some weeks ago I had a talk to a friend of mine and she asked me if I have an idea on how to assamble beads and brickstitch. I'm not sure if she meant it like I did it with this short necklace, but this is what I understand.
I used czech seeds in pearl-white and midnight blue glaspearls. It looks very maritime and I can imagine to sit on a nice motor-boat and having a nice cup of tea, haha.

Oh, how nice...

2011-08-05T23:11:00.001-07:00

the MIL of my daughter said after she saw my spiraling necklace. She liked the technique and the blue color. As I won't give mine away I sat down and made another one, with a few changes at beads. Matt grey, black-bluemetallic and for the facetted beads I use saphier-blue.
She don't know that she will get it next week and I'm looking forward what she's saying about this surprise. Hope she like this variation too.

Have a great weekend !

Bracelet-cuff

2011-07-31T22:56:00.001-07:00

After several larger projects I had to do a bracelet. The tutorial for this nice one I found HERE

It's nice and quick made and if you're familar with beadstitching you can get it in one evening. There are more color schemes in my mind... will see ;-))

Have a great week ahead!

I'm back

2011-07-15T15:27:00.000-07:00

from a nice and relaxing holiday. Even the weather wasn't so good, we've had more rain then sun, we enjoyed the time.

As a result here's another Eliza collier in different blues and bronze. Instead of picots for the edges I used drops for the embellishment.

Have a great weekend.... hopefully with a little bit more sun :-))

Capri-Gold Collar

2011-06-19T00:36:00.001-07:00

Over the years my to-do-list was and still is growing and this netted collar is an old tutorial from Varvara a great russian beader. Keeping it classy I used capri-gold facetted glas-beads and dyed-rose with copper rocailles. It goes smooth around the neck and for its around 300 beads the weight is nice and gives the collar a good solid feeling. The appearance is classy & elegant so its perfect for an evening dress.

For the next time I will have a break as we are preparing for our annual vacancy.

Have a great time ahead, see ya soon!

Great fun....

2011-06-15T21:58:00.001-07:00

at two sides, me and the new owner of my handmade collar and bracelet.
I'm really happy that I was able to fullfill her expectations and she enjoyed her new accessoires.

That's the best reward we can get for our work!

Something old....

2011-06-11T22:37:00.001-07:00

A dear friend of mine asked me to weave her a short collar in turquoise and little bit bronze. She searched my albums and stopped at a netted collar I had woven in the early 2000. No embellishment was required, it should appear simple and plain. Hope I get it this way she asked for.

Have a nice and sunny rest-weekend!

Anahata Version

2011-06-05T20:20:00.001-07:00

Another pendant from Beaded Treasures. I've taken an inside- and outside photo to show the colors and sparkling on its best.
It's a nice solid pendant about 4 cm in diameter and for the many facetted beads it has its weight.

For the next days I have to stop working with this nice book as I got a custom order for an necklace.
Photos will follow.

Wish you all a nice and sunny week!

Maroc Memories- Pendant

2011-06-02T22:06:00.000-07:00

With "Beaded Treasures" Anja Schlotmann has created a nice Book with many interesting objects. Do you know that? New projects and you'll never have the right beads?
Normally I start a new project by picking up my beads and color palette but this time I decided to start with beads I have and then pick up the colors step by step whilest working.
I'm sorry that the camera didn't get the different color hues so exactly, this is the best result I could get.

Now it's time to order new beads.... I'll never have enough ;-))

Have a nice and sunny weekend ahead!

Eliza

2011-05-29T06:35:00.001-07:00

Edwardian lace collar made after a tutorial from Nancy Peterson. Several years ago I've started my first step at beadweaving with netting technique and am so happy to have found this nice new tutorial. With its shimmering gold beads, tanzanite and champaign the collar has an lucious appearance. I've made a little change as I don't like so much the picot edges so with the round edge it has a more solid character.

How can we start...

2011-05-23T05:15:00.000-07:00

the week better with a sunny blue sky and a new colorful necklace?

Apple-green, olivine, pink-purple and amethyst for the awaking nature, where all trees and flowers starts blooming. I love this beaded bead as I have so many possibilities with color combinations so I'm able to make one for each dress I find at my cabinet ;-))

As I'm still a fan of vintage I use oxidised brass for the chain and tassel.

Wishing you all a sunny week with loads of fun!

Little Pralinés....

2011-05-13T12:09:00.000-07:00

came to my mind if I look at the single elements of this bracelet. It was somewhat difficult to frame the small cat-eyes, but at least I'm happy with the result.
Tutorial here

Wish you all a nice and sunny weekend!

Cellini Spirale

2011-05-10T05:02:00.001-07:00

My dear clayfriend Eliska sent me Rocailles from Jablonex in different colors. These Rocailles are slightly bigge then those I use regularly. I searched my stock and found several beads for a beautiful mix and stitch this nice spiral. It was fun to work and I like the result.

I still have some other beautiful colors in my stock and am sure this won't be the last spiral. At this point, thank you once again Eliska!

Birthday-Gift

2011-05-03T21:57:00.001-07:00

Time is running as I'm very busy with some new organisations at home what takes most of my time. Beside Birthdays from family and friends are coming and so I have to be prepared. This bracelet from Zuzzl I liked much and I take again the experience with RAW what is not my favorite technique. I have enough drops to go and as the receiver is an absolute autumn-type the colors are matching perfect to her.
For the base I used Toho 134F, for the embellishment Toho 15/221 and drops MK 134, Toho 162c, 329. Now I hope it fits well and she like it.

Carmelita Medallion

2011-04-16T04:55:00.001-07:00

Beaded Medallion in black, silver & red. This time without using any tutorial. Looks ok, doesn't it?

Have a nice and sunny weekend!

Solitaire

2011-04-10T14:53:00.000-07:00

Even it is weekend you'll find one or two minutes for beading. I've played around with rivolis and a ring was the result. Looks little bit like a sundown.

My friend liked the ring so much that I stitched another one in her favorite color. Sometimes pink might look kitschy, but with her blond hair she is perfect to wear the color.

Wish you all a great week ahead!

To the weekend...

2011-04-09T00:28:00.001-07:00

I can present my "Fatima". Often seen at other beaders I want one for myself. RAW isn't my personal favorite stitch but with the encouragement of an nice bead-buddy I give it a try. I'm very proud for the result and am sure it's not the last one.

Here you get the tutorial for this fantastic bead.

Have a nice and sunny weekend!

Experiment

2011-04-06T03:51:00.001-07:00

It's time to use my own handmade beads for beadwork and so I started the experiment, framing lentils in a different way. It took much of my patience, lots of counting, zipping it off and starting once more. Though its finish now and am really happy with the result. Soft fresh colors for the upcoming spring/summer. The matching earrings complete the look.

Silence

2011-03-22T00:46:00.000-07:00

The beautiful botswana agate cabochon was sent by my friend Patricia. It's one of my favorite stones and I've stored the cabochon for a long time as I don't know how to capture this beauty right. With embroidery the nice milky translucency will get lost and so I decide to bezel it. It's the first time I've done it and am pleased with the result. Thanks once again Patricia! Hope I've done justice to this wonderful stone.

Okno

2011-03-03T00:28:00.001-08:00

Again a beautiful pendant in vintage style made after a design from Mu. Soft greens and bronzetones gave this filigree piece an antique touch. For the additional embellishment I've used a pretty facetted citirin teardrop.

Cairo

2011-02-28T23:06:00.001-08:00

This beautiful collar I've worked after a tutorial from Lynn Davy (Beadwork magazine 02/03). Instead of stone or glas teardrops I've used freshwater-teardrops with an slightly irregular size. Therefore I had to make some changes for the embellishment order. To my eyes it still looks great though.
(Material: MKDB11 0109, MKR 15 0181, Bicones opal white)

Camelot cross

2011-02-18T03:36:00.001-08:00

From the last Beadwork magazine is this nice bracelet. I love the vintage touch about the bronze and berry colortones. The combination from brickstitch and peyote is lovely to work with and I had lots of fun.

I love the silverplated chain my friend sent over to me and so I made another long necklace with beaded beads in combination. Looks great to my winter shirt.

Have all a great and sunny weekend!

Beaded Bead

2011-01-26T06:09:00.001-08:00

Time is still rare for beading so such small projects are great for the moment. With a little inspiration from here and there I've created this beaded bead. For the first time without any tutorial I'm satiesfied with the result.

Happy New Year

Fashion Jewelry Show

My booth for the annual show.

Advent, Advent......

2010-11-27T00:42:00.001-08:00

It's time to think about Christmas gifts and this tree ornament is the beginning.
For the embellishment I used light topaz bicone crystals, pearlimitates and Miyuki seed beads. Tutorial from the B & B magazine December 2010.

I wish you all a wonderful 1. Advent!

Wave-Collier

2010-11-23T05:21:00.001-08:00

After I saw this beautiful collier at the titel at the Bead&Button magazine it became a "must have".
I changed the colors from blue and white to opalite peach and matte gold, pearls are maroon and build a nice contrast to the pastells. The collier is close to the neck and very elegant.

Dog-Sitting

2010-11-16T20:30:00.001-08:00

May I introduce, this is Marcy now 5 month old. She was adopted 4 weeks ago by our neighbours. After two weeks staying at the new home her mommy passed away. She was ill for a long time but like her housband no one has had an idea that her days where counted.
After the shock our neighbour felt much more sad as he has to start his job again and didn't know what about Marcy. The time of his abscence for work is too much to long for the little puppy to stay home alone.
So we give Marcy a home for several hours a day that she can stay with her new daddy. She do a great job keeping him strong and fill the home with love and warmth not to feel so much the lonelyness.
Marcy is such a sweet baby and learning quick. Kruemel shows her what's right or wrong and she always keep an eye on her "big brother" what he say ;-))

Pink-Blink

2010-11-14T23:14:00.001-08:00

I saw this nice bracelet in one B&B magazine (Maria Guletta) and thought I should give it a try. It was easy to stitch and ready in one afternoon. Perfect match to the beautiful pink stone bead in the center. I like the result.

Going green

2010-10-23T01:31:00.001-07:00

A beautiful bracelet from the book "Bijoux tissé" by Marie Geraud. With the combination from light greens and dark brass it looks real elegant and not kitschy. Delicate and lightweight around the wrist and eyecatching though.

Starlet

2010-10-21T02:40:00.000-07:00

My repertory isn't so big, but I could attach something new. From trytobead the Starlet-Bracelet. I like the look in copper and pumpkin very much. It fits smooth around the wrist and is comfortably to wear.

Latest work

2010-10-20T03:44:00.000-07:00

I'm sorry for the long absence, but I was busy beading and between we've made a short trip to visit our friends in Saarland. We visited for one day Trier and we got home fullfilled impressed by so many beautiful buildings and churches we've had seen. Ok, back to the beading... here are my latest creations. Mostly inspired and worked after trytobead.
There's still a long list on my table... more to come soon ;-)

Happy Beading
Karin

Back home

2010-09-25T22:00:00.001-07:00

After a wonderful week at Bredene beach / Belgium were back home. The photo with my most beloved little model gives an impression how beautiful it was. For the season the weather was nice, we could go out each day and enjoyed walking at the beach. For our little furbaby it was the first time away from home. He enjoyed the water, sand and the endlessly running around. Kruemel mets many other dogs who forced him to play and so he was always really tired at the end of days.

Good bye....

2010-09-17T07:35:00.000-07:00

..... we're on holiday for a week in Bredene / Belgium. Stuff is packed and tomorrow morning we will start to a week relaxing, walking at the beach.... simply having fun. See ya'll in a week. Have a great time till then.

The Granada pendant I've finished today. It is a gift for my very good friend who made it possible that we have a nice house near by the beach. I use her favorite colors and so I hope she will love it.

Bye, bye then.....

Fall Fragments

2010-09-09T23:12:00.000-07:00

With all the rain we have to accept fall is standing infront of the door. So many trees start changing theire leaf color and a few others starts loosing the leafs. Each season has its own beauty and with a little more sun nature appears in a burst of colors. Till the rain is over and the greyish view outside I put my hands on fall colored fragments like on this set. Tutorial could be ordered here.
Have a great weekend!

2010-09-07T20:31:00.001-07:00

Here is my latest work for September made after this pretty nice book. Instead of a Swaro* drop I used a real facetted garnet drop. Depending on light the drop shimmers in a deep burgundy red.

The bracelet fits smooth around the wrist and looks like an old lace band. For the pendant I need different silk or cotton cord which I didn't found yet.

Have a nice day!

Touareg

2010-08-31T22:54:00.001-07:00

Another set I've finished after the book from Marie Geraud. I love her choice of color and the design. It looks so delicate nevertheless the pieces have a strong feeling. For the moment this book is on top of my list of things I love to do.

Have a nice day!

Pimp my Jeans

2010-08-26T02:59:00.001-07:00

At the moment I like the blue shades and in combination with brass it looks precious but not to much glamorous for a day. It is hard to get a good light at rainy days. Once the color is right but less sparkle and at the next photo I got the sparkle right but not natural colors. So for the details I took 3 photos.

Viktorian Cabochon Collier

2010-08-23T13:50:00.001-07:00

This delicate creation was made after the book "Beaded Allure" using 15/0 sized Rocailles. It was alot of work but the result is worth the trouble.

Es gibt was zu gewinnen....

2010-08-17T07:51:00.000-07:00

bei Simone, schaut mal auf ihren Blog Viel Glück!

I'm back...

2010-08-16T05:47:00.001-07:00

after a short break for my hurting shoulder. Thanks God its over and I can start beading again with this two pieces. Matte black netted collar for a custom request and stackered twinkle-spins after trytobead.
I'm really happy that my hands gets something to do and the boring and painful time is over, yeah!

Birthday-Party

2010-08-13T14:42:00.000-07:00

It was the 3. birthday of our little darling Krümel. And what is best as to celebrate it with his best buddy Luna in the garden. We parents and mom of Luna enjoyed so much watching our furbabies acting. Weather was fine and so they had much fun.

Granada

2010-07-30T02:51:00.001-07:00

Beaded Pendants made after a tutorial from trytobead. The instructions are easy to follow and so it was fun to bead them. Surely not the last ones I made.

More surprises

2010-07-07T23:44:00.000-07:00

Through the internet I made friendship with nice Lady few years ago. Even we didn't met us in person I've learned to know her a bit more and better now. What I've figured out is that she is a wonderful person and her first priority is that all her surrounding beloved ones feel comfortably best. So she is a wonderful wife to her husband, a great mother to her children, a good daughter to the seniors and not to forget a great caring pet-mummy. I know the last weeks... months... she was so much busy that she rarely found time for herself. But beside all the duties she found time to enjoy me over the long distance with a surprisingly b-day gift. Each single packet is a thought of her how to made me happy and that made me feel so special.
So we can complete the list above... she is a wonderful friend too! Thank you once again for all the beautiful beads and stuff! I'm blessed with friends like you Patricia!

BIG THANK YOU ALL

2010-06-25T01:34:00.001-07:00

For all the wonderful birthday wishes from friends in the near and so far a BIG THANK YOU! You all made my day very special!

Surprise

2010-06-22T22:26:00.001-07:00

Yesterday I received a surprise from my dear friend Belinda from Singapore. I knowed it is for my birthday so I wasn't allowed to open it immediately. Hard job to stay patient till today :-))

Today my birthday I could open my surprise and honestly, it hits me from my chair. But look yourself, aren't these earrings beautiful?
I can tell you so much, better you take a look at her website (click the button at the side-bar from Bellebeadz) for all the Beauties Belinda made. You'll better understand from what I'm speaking holding one of her pieces in your own hands.

Belinda knows that I love Chalcedone and these drops are fantastic and the color is so unusually that I truly got something very, very special. I've tried to catch the wonderful color at my photos and do the great work of Belinda justice. I've tried different backgrounds, different lights from the early morning.... that's the best I could do and I have to recognize photographing will stay a secret for me.

A big THANK YOU Belinda for the wonderful surprise!

Trianglemania

About the nice work at my triangle-pendant I was motivated to bead more triangles. The tutorial for this nice bracelet was to be seen at Beadwork-Magazine Feb./March. Perfect for me to play with colors.

Der Dreiecksanhänger hat so gut geklappt, das hat mich zu mehr Dreiecken motiviert. Die Vorlage zu diesem schönen Armband gab es im Beadwork-Magazin, Ausg. Feb./März zu sehen.
Perfekt um mich mit Farben auszutoben.

Materialliste:
Toho 290
Miyuki 11, 24, 42, 65, 101, 162, 210, 1016, 1201
Metallknopf als Schließe aus meinem Fundus.

Triangle

2010-05-30T00:57:00.000-07:00

Triangle Pendant in peyote stitch with Miyuki DBs. It is my first experience with geometric forms and I loved it. Now I can understand why so many beader work on geometric forms.
For the first time I take the help from Diana Averdiek's book "Edle Schmuckstücke".

Black Classic

2010-05-19T05:00:00.001-07:00

Lately I received a package from an very good friend which contains alot of nice stuff to use for my jewelrymaking. I'm so happy she inserted this wonderful linked chain I used here with the Speed-Beads. The Beads are made after a Tutorial from Martina Schweighart and I beaded them with facetted glas-beads in black-dorado and black combined with silver rocailles. Classy and fashionable at the same time.

Birthday-Balls

2010-05-19T03:12:00.000-07:00

At the internet I found this nice tutorial for Speed-Beads from Martina Schweighart and I can say... I love it!
I made these 3 short necklaces as birthday gifts. Each one with a special color combination to achieve the personality of the Lady who will receive her Speed-Bead.
The two green-pink ones are for the Twins of my friend. The two sisters are twins, but completely different and so I made one bead in soft colors for the blond haired Lady and the more bold colored bead for the red haired sister. Even the beads match well together, the difference shows also the difference between the sisters. Hope they will love it.
The turquoise ball is for a nordic blond haired Lady and are her favorite colors. So I hope I'm right here too.

"Petite Four"

2010-05-07T12:51:00.001-07:00

Each element of this delicate neckpiece looks a littel bit like a "Petite Four" to my eyes. Yummy! Made after "Das Perlenkochbuch" using Pearlimitates, DB-beads and Toho seeds.

Romantic bracelet

2010-05-02T15:35:00.001-07:00

Malika

2010-04-17T22:26:00.003-07:00

The base of this bracelet cuff is made with 11/0 Toho hex. in peyote stitch adorned with tiny 15/0 Miyuki seeds and Swarovski bicones in different greens and indian red. Wearing it it gives one the imagination of a silk ribbon around the wrist. If sun catches the arm there is a fire-work on shiny dark brass, gold and crystals and it looks like as it was made for a Queen. Therefore and for its arabian look I named it Malika which is synonym for Queen. Inspired by "trytobe".

Bracelet

2010-04-17T22:17:00.001-07:00

With a kind of peyote stitch each single component is worked out and attached to the next. Pearl imitates surrounded by 15/0 Miyuki seeds in gold, 11/0 Toho seeds in green and DB beads in porcelaine. Pattern by "trytobe".

Hollow Beaded Bead

2010-04-08T00:50:00.001-07:00

After a sad occurrence I come back to beading with this little project for a reason. This hollow beaded bead pendant is my gift for a 50. birthday of a lovely person. I'm sure she like the color choice, hope she like my work too.

Bracelet

2010-03-22T00:23:00.001-07:00

Some may think I'm obsessive ;-)) But what's better to do on a complete rainy day? Of course.... beading.
Peyote band with TOHO hex with embellished border from TOHO seeds. Magnetic closure. The original is from "trytobe" and I simplifyed it as I haven't all the necessary beads to go for the origin.

Einige mögen denken ich bin besessen ;-)) Aber was kann man besser an einem total verregneten Tag tun? Natürlich .... perlen.
Peyote Band mit TOHO hex verziert mit Borten aus TOHO seeds. Das Original ist von "trytobe" und ich habe es nur etwas vereinfacht, da ich nicht alle notwendigen Perlen für das Original hatte.

Mein erster Versuch mit Perlenstickerei. Es sieht so einfach aus, man braucht aber all seine Geduld. Ich hatte sehr viel Freude mein freestyle Perlenstickarmband zu machen und es wird bestimmt nicht die letzte Arbeit dieser Art sein.

Midnight lace / Mitternachtsspitzen

2010-03-01T02:25:00.001-08:00

Nach einer sehr lange Pause habe ich mal wieder mit "perlen" angefangen. Trotz fehlener Übung und Routine hab ich dieses Armband nach einer Anleitung aus dem Buch Das Perlenkochbuch von Sabine Lippert nachgearbeitet. Es hat viel Spaß gemacht und es gefällt mir ungemein gut. "Mitternachtsspitzen" der Titel eines Films mit Doris Day fiel mir dazu spontan ein ;-))
