Speedballs

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

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......

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Back home

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....

..... 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

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!

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

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

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

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....

bei Simone, schaut mal auf ihren Blog Viel Glück!
