Another spiky pendant

Spiky, but not that dangerous I think. ;) Another pendant made with spike beads, fire polished beads and seed beads, with a wax pearl in the middle. The white, black and metallic grey colours make it look a bit classic, the shape however says no, not classic at all! Classic or not, I am going to wear it anyway. ;)

It measures 4,5cm (1,77" ) at the widest point (with spikes), however the main beaded part measures 2,5cm (1").

And this is the pendant:

It was so easy to make though that I am very tempted to make another one. I am going back to beading then! ;)

Back to the life - with some new beading patterns of course ;)

So, here I am again - staying in bed was extremely boring, trust me - but at least I could do some other work, not exactly beading though, but related to beading. Two new tutorials for the patterns that have been already presented here, plus another one, for dodecahedral earrings. Yep I know, it's pretty amazing that I managed to make another pair of earrings instead of just these boring pendants. ;) Anyway I hope you'll like them - both the pendants and the earrings really. ;)

Okay, the first is the pattern for the dodecahedral earrings. Beaded beads made with 4mm wax pearls, 11/o seed beads and 2mm metal ball, measuring around 2,5cm (1") in the widest point - in fact they look a bit smaller than they are in reality, probably because they're not the perfect spheres.

And these earrings look like this:

And a close-up:

This tutorial is available here (Etsy) and here (Craftsy).

The second pattern I have made is for the netted beaded pendant, that you could see already in this post. But there are two more such pendants, that you can see below:

 

The pendant, as you can see, is mostly made with 6mm wax pearls and 11/o seed beads. It measures around 4cm (1,57") in diameter. Quite easy and fast to make, and you can find the tutorial here and here. :)

And finally, the last pattern, for another beaded ball - or a beaded bead, whatever you wish. ;)
Small ornamental ball, not exceeding 2,5cm (1") in diameter, made with fire polished beads and 11/o & 15/o seed beads. Tiny, but quite eye-catching. Better for a pendant though than for the earrings in my humble opinion... but it can serve in any way you wish. ;)

The tutorial for this beaded bead is available here and here.

Now, if you excuse me, I'm going back to bed. Time to get some rest - but I'll see you all soon again. :)

Queen of Fire, Queen of Ice - beaded beads and bracelets with tutorials

Queen of Fire. Gold and rubies.... if such a queen had ever existed, I hope she would have been willing to wear such jewelry. Her sister, Queen of Ice hopefully would have chosen a set made with cold silver and sapphires. But such queens don't exist, so both sets are mine! ;D

The bracelets and matching pendants are made with wax pearls, SuperDuo beads, Toho 11/o and fire polished beads in two sizes. The beaded bead that works as a pendant is 3,7cm (1,45") long and 2,7cm (1,06") wide, the bracelet is 2,5cm (1") wide. Both patterns are accompanied with tutorials. :)

So, here's the set for the Queen of Fire:

And the set for the Queen of Ice:

 

And both sets together. :)

 

 

The patterns are available separately and in a set in my Etsy and Craftsy stores.

 

 

And I am going to say goodbye for now... and a couple of more days. The next chemotherapy awaits me, so wish me luck... and hopefully I'll see you soon again. Hugs to all of you! :)

 

 

 



Another beaded donut and another pattern. ;)

Can't say that I was forced to make it again... but Wiosenna seemed to really like this beaded donut and requested a tutorial. Considering that making the first one, which you can see here, was a nightmare both for me and the needles, I was absolutely sure that I would never ever try to make it again, not to mention that I would never even try to convince a fellow beader to make it either.

But I must admit, that her request made me search for an easier way to make it. It wasn't that bad pattern after all, was it? I wanted to help her though, so I thought that a better way must exist! And I have managed to find it, so now the tutorial is available to all of you too. :)

Moreover, it was that easy, that I managed to make two more such beaded donuts within just one evening! ;)

I hope that Wiosenna is happy now, since she got the pattern before it has even been published. ;)

Everyone else can get it on Craftsy or Etsy.

Golden Acorn - tutorial for a beaded bead

Not stopping with designing the beaded beads, not stopping with making the instructions too. ;)

Today there's another beaded bead, asymmetrical this time, of a shape slighlty resembling an acorn. It is made with 6mm, 4mm and 3mm fire polished beads and Toho seed beads size 11, all of them in brownish and yellow colours. It is 3,3 cm (1,30") long and 2,5cm (1") wide.

The detailed tutorial for this beaded bead can be found on Craftsy and Etsy.

Also, the instruction actually allows you to make a different beaded bead too. ;)

Enjoy. :)

 

 

 

 

And one more beaded ball... ;)

It will never end, I guess I'll keep making beaded balls no matter what. ;)

Another one that has been created recently is made with 6mm wax pearls, 3mm fire polished beads and Preciosa seed beads, all in candy pink colours. It is probably a colour that many people just hate, but for some reason I like working with it. It needs to be a certain range of pink shades though, and that ball represents all of them.

It measures 2,5cm (1") in diameter... and of course it has become just another beaded pendant... It couldn't be anything else, after all. ;)

 

 

Now I hope that tomorrow is going to be a bright day, because I need to take a couple of pictures if I still want to update this blog. ;)

 



 

Sunny beaded donut

It's been a while since I have shown a beaded donut here... it doesn't mean though that I haven't made one. ;)

This pendant was made more than a week ago, but it probably didn't deserve to be published earlier. ;) It is made with 4mm glass pearls, SuperDuo beads and Toho beads size 11 and 15. It measures 4 cm (1,57") in diameter. Both sides of the donut look exactly the same.

Quite sunny, isn't it? ;)
