My very first soutache necklace!

Recently I purchased Anneta Valious 's first soutache book in Russian
to learn a little bit more about this technique,
and for long time I admired  Cielo Design's awsome artworks.
So I decided to give me a shot and  this is what I came out.
Although very very far away from perfection,
I did enjoy the process,definitely will continue!
Have a nice Sunday :)))

Lasso loops necklace

Orinigal design by Teresa Sullivan instead of bangle I made a necklace.

I mixed twin bead and superduo beads, they worked really well together :))) !

You can find the pattern on Beadwork magazine Apr/May 2013.

Have a nice weekend!

Hibiscus

 My partecipation of forum HDPS beading contest.
The tema was "10 years "to celebrate 10th anniversary,
we should've create a necklace with 10 different elements ( beads )
The photo above was my original idea but the photo was rejected
because I 've made totale 9 elements, so in one day before the deadline,
I add a glass drop and maybe this was what the necklace should be.

My Hibiscus neclace OOAK original design by me.

Have a nice week : )))

Black Jinko....Rulla beads

I bought my very first Rulla beads few weeks ago,
and because recently I saw on insternet some awsome netting necklaces
designed by Franch beaders that inspired me to make my own version.
Materials : Rulla, Twin beads, 11 seed beads
and faceted glass drops plus some 6mm glass bicones.
Names Black Jinko.

Have a great Sunday!

Spirale Lana

As I said this is my bangle period, inspired by Puca's spirale Lana,
I made this bangle then a necklace.
Pattern is on sale here

You can find other amazing works on her blog

Per Ale

Another X'mas gift for my friend Ale, and she loves it : )))

Peyote agogo

To create this necklace I used tubular peyote to stitch 5 different sizes beads.

 My x'mas gift for Rosy a very kind women, I hope she will like it.

These brass clasps are beautiful but they have some technique problem to keep tight,
so I add some beads to finish all piece.


Have a nice weekend! : )))

Auguri Cinzia!

A birthday present for Cinzia, I made this beaded bead only using RAW technique
without any pattern,and original idea for the beaded chain was from Sereine.
Merci!

Purple Byzantine

My entry of Beadwrok 15th anniversary beaded bead contest.
I am not a fun of beaded bead but I must admitted this challenge was great.
I took a PVC tube and covered it using bead netting,
then I used two pair of magnetic clasp incorporate Melinda Barta's seeing star
beaded bead like the closure,and it could work also without.

Have a nice weekend!

Infloresence

I made this necklace for a beading contest held by Madbead forum.
( Basically I only bead for contests : P )
The theme was to make a piece suite a fashion/runway wardrobe.
Inspired by a floral dress I made my fisrt Saint Petersburg chain (leaves),
and  bezeled different colors Swarovski Octagons
and hours and hour for the netting base.
I am very very pround of what I came out
even though in the end I wasn't even in the first three place.
But for me all these beading contests is how to learn new techniques
and improve my skill.I enjoy it each time : ))))

Regina...Inspiration form the Tudors

I made this necklace for CBA's second beading contest,
the theme was "inspiration from an Heroine of 16th and 17th centry"
As a Tudors jewelery fun I was inspired by an potrait of Elisabeth I.
So here you are necklace " Regina "(Queen in Italian )
Original design by me : ))

You can see the detail above and find out I made a huge mistake..
I counted wrong numer of the parallel flower petals but I was too far to remake it ,
so I kept this fault and finished it.
And then I noticed for another beading contest held by beads-perles.blogspot.com
about two and half years ago I've already been inspired by Tudors jewelery.
My  " Bloody Mary "

Seems like I coudn't get enough ;  )))

Cleo

About a year and half ago I made some fimo cabochons here,

at begining I was thinking to make a simple pendant.....

and then a cab called another and another.... : )

Usually I have no power on my beadwork because the beads

they decided what they want to be and where they want to go...

I can't never plan or design a piece in advance

 because they never go where they should be....

                                  Named Cleo(patra) beacuse some colors and edges remind me Egypt.
                                                       Have a nice summer vacation!

Riflesso, how much I love beading contest :)))

                            My partecipation of Fashioncolors work 2012 beading contest,
                    named " Rflesso " a lot of RAW and Russian bugle weaving techniques.

Have a nice weekend!

Persephone

I am a member of CBA-->Creer un bijoux est un art blog

and this necklace was my partecipation -the first of three annual  beading competitions of 2012.

The theme was " Gods and Goddesses of all Horizons ",

and the bead work must be original design.

Actually I made the top left green  motive about two years ago,

but I didn't develope nothing more,and this contest

gave me inspiration to compelete my initial idea,

the image of Persephone(Vegatation-Spring Goddess)

when she came back form underworld after months,

each step she made bring colors,lives and take cold grey winter away.

 

Have  a nice weekend!! : ))

Elegant dangles

Pattern from B&B April 2012 original design by Anu Rao.

Have a nice weekend!!

Happy mother's day - Russian Wraparound

 Pattern from b&b 2011 October issue, designed by Carolyn Cave.

I loved the texture and I used the technique from Rachel-Nelson Smith's book
" seed bead fusion " to finish the clasp .

Apres le schema de Nouchka...Collier Azuki

I was trying to make " La petite souer" of Nouchka
http://nushkabijoux.canalblog.com/archives/mes_schemas/index.html
And I massed up....as a terrbible pattern follower... :P
I found out after 6 petals I counted wrong but all struggle toghter
could be a beautiful way to bezel a cabochon,
so I change the original pattern based on RAW into Peyote to make the petals,
and with help of Coco's blog I also add Russian beading techniques.
http://labijoutisse.canalblog.com/archives/2009/11/30/15980784.html
Thanks both for the generosity!!

I am totaly in love with this necklace named " Azuki "
the colors remind me Azuki beans which in Asia people makes a lot
of desserts with them.



Have a nice weekend!

Work in progress.....

Experiment after Nouchka's pattern....almost done.....

Forget me not

As I mentioned I made a piece for a beading contest I can finally show you now!
" Le pouvoir des pierres" (the power of gems) held by France beading forum
http://www.rdv-creatif.com/forums/forum.php
We should've create a necklace (pendant is not allowed)with sunstone or
at limit orange golden stone.
Usually I let my muse drove me where she wanted to go,
that's why I can barely make a decent pattern : P
But since I was waiting arrival of these golden stones(never use them before...)
I designed first then I made this necklace....Incredible the result is not far away
form my hand drawing ; ))))
I will try to make some other photos ( as long as winter allows)

Have a nice San Faustino!

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!
