Standing ovation

Just finished a beading competion piece which of course I can't show you yet ,
I wanted to do something relaxing, pattern from B&B 2012 Feb issue
Anna Elisabeth Draeger's stunning " Standing ovation" in zig-zag version.
Love it :)))

Bracelet Lace

Original design by me ; )))

Autunno Tardivo

I made my first Russian spiral stitch as a long necklace,
then I thought I should make a match pendant...
Like always my muse drove me out of control ; p
This " huge " pendant could be also wear as brooch : )))

I wish you a very happy new year!

See you in 2012!

A funny game!

I join this free giveaway for a chance to win a whole year original patterns

form Laure, have fun : )))

My Bloomor necklace

I partecipated a beading challenge of " Perlistik" forum;
the theme was to make a wareable piece
beased on an original pattern of "Try to be "
http://trytobead.com/index.php?id=176
" Bloomor" bracelet.
The rule was follow the pattern strictly but change as much as possible
the sizes of beads; the colors and combinations.
I found 18 differnet ways to make it : )))
It took me a month only for build this necklace,
also because I am really a very lousy pattern follower,
too often the things came out without control : P
Even though I forced myself to stick around the pattern,
I have had really hard moment not to do something else...

Although I didn't win( I was one of the finalist)
I am quite possitive of the result because I was forced to thinking about
all the possibilities and thinking in different ways.

Have a nice week!

Moonsafari beads X'mas giveaway

Lately I was wordking on some different projects,
unfortunately without nice photo came out so I decided to wait,
this evening surfing on internet
I found out a incredible bead artist
http://moonsafaribeads.blogspot.com
who makes really gorgeous stuffs and she is holding a giveaway.
So I am in ( never been a lucky person but it's ok :))

Simple stuffs

I made this earring without pattern for Concetta's birthday.
Hope she will like them :) This necklace is my very first X'mas present of this year,
I won these glass cube beads form a hobby competition,
One of my friend is totaly in love with them so I made
this necklace with a really large advance for her.


And last week I've been in Milan for Hobby show
(to be honest if you are looking for some interesting
beading materials you will be probably really disappointed like me :( )
Of course this is my personal opinion cause I paid 8 euros
(with discount full price was 10 euros)and I got out after maybe an hour,
with only few semi-precious strand, with these I suppose Jasper drops
I made a flower ring.

Have a nice weekend!
