Beadwork Aug/Sep 2011

I did a lot of beading from this issue of the Beadwork magazine. These designer are simply fabulous and I just can't stop but to continue from one to the other.

regina's pearls original design from Cynthia Rutledge has a pendant but I was too lazy for that and I made a long necklace.

chain of jewels by Cristie Prince was easy to made but took me 2 weeks to finish.... wow! Lots of work.

Still working on some of the design from this issue, stay tune :)

Happily beading throughout the weekends!

A long spiral necklace with a peyote Square link connected to two gold pewter rings. Glass flowers are added as embellishment near the rings. It's beaded in my favourite colour purple!

 4 pairs of earring was done last week, they are now available for sale at Etsy.com

Made these 2 pendants this afternoon, will be giving them away soon! Who's the lucky fella?? ^_^

COTTON CANDY

I have beading with my left hand (no worries, I was not injured) just that the above piece of gorgeous work designed by Elizabeth Weaver requires me to weave with 2-needle RAW (right angle weave). This is my first attempt working with 2 needles and I have never ever imagine myself holding 2 needles at the same time. (I think I look like a robot beading with 2 hands)

I was pretty good at picking crystals with my left hand, didn't send the crystals flying round my room =D A heavy piece of necklace !

I named it COTTON CANDY as someone on FB told me that Swarovski crystal are like candy, never too much to have them !

NON-BEADING DAY...

What happen on my non-beading days ?? No needle ... but with Swarovksi crystal, mono-filament thread and a book with Japanese instructions. Thanks to Yumiko Maki's designs, the above motifs are easy to made! I love the Japanese diagrams (I don't read the instructions).

I was trying to make a tiger but seems like the result is terrible, a dog with tiger skin ... =D I still love it, so cute !

BINGLICIOUS BANGLE

Finished this bangle about 2 weeks ago, was too busy with beading and sorting out paperwork that I've forgotton to upload it ......

I've used the 2.5mm 5301 Swarovski crystal and the multi-coloured yarns (complimentary from Fujix, Japan) to crochet this beautiful bangle. I'm loving it (^_^) !

Lovely yarn to use, goes well with the Swarovski but not the 11s. I've choosen the Crystal colour beads to see through the yarn. Here's the yarn that I have used on the bangle.

The bangle looks pretty to have it on Ghoulish's neck (if he has one ...hee hee!), the new owner of Blinglicious Bangle!

NEVER TOO MANY !

I started with the first Tigger......

Then move on to the second......

And finally, I've got 3 Tiggers!

Finished my custom order of 2 Tiggers and 1 for myself =D

X'MAS PRESENT

Was busy preparing X'mas present, a bit slow in making these Santa faces. Bad cough with not enough sleep ..... I can't even see the holes of the crystal ! But manage to make 8 of these faces =D

Next got to work on new baby booties for my nephew arriving next year. Yah ! Going to be an aunt again ! Hee....hee
