Trumpet Flower Necklace

I liked this necklace immediately, when I was looking through the Beadwork Magazine August 2012. It is a sophisticated pattern by Leslie Frazier.

The necklace straps are a bit weak, they twist. Next time I would fix the parts on a crochet rope.

Another Birthday present

My husband gave me the kit for the necklace “Semiramide” from Happyland.(http://happylandblog.blogspot.de/)

The instructions are really good. The necklace is easy to bead. I only changed the little chain near the clasp into a stronger one in bronze.

Mixed World

I saw the mix “Earthtones” (nº 22) at Fofinhas shop and knew I have to try it again with my pattern. Here you see the result. The “water” are Miyuki-seed beads nº 0150.

Russian truffle-bonbons

During my trip I did not have much time for my projects. However there is something I could finish.

I saw the pattern of this necklace on a Russian site and had to try it myself. I used seed beads 11º and mini-drops. The “bonbons” are not filled, so the necklace is light and smooth. It fits very well around the neck.

Birthday presents

My friend Bine made this little, cute fellow for me.

I named him Carlos.

Besides she sewed this fantastic bag for me.

From now on my projects will travel in adequate surrounding.
