Flutterby

When I go on a cruise, I need some nice jewelry . One of my favoured projects was the necklace "Flutterby" by Goodquillhunting.

The pattern you find here: whimbeads.com/.../GQH_Whimbeads_Flutterby.pdf‎

I modified it a bit. Instead of the 3mm facetted beads I used 4mm and I skipped the row with the drops on the inside.

 

Fancy Frill

... is the name of this necklace by Isabella Lam, which you can find in the Bead & Button August 2013.

I want to wear it with a navy-blue shirt.

To slim

and this during Christmas.

My favoured rainbowtendril had to loose circumference because it was not laying proberly around my neck.
Ich crochet it now slimmer  and with other colour-combination.

The necklace has 50 cm without clasp.

The Lukas' „New Engine“

Lukas is an engine driver in a puppet play that I loved when I was a child.

Preparing the Christmas decoration I found the wooden pendants for the Christmas tree, my children liked very much. Among these is an engine and suddenly I had the idea to bead one. I could not get this idea out of my head and so I started beading. Here you see the new engine of Lukas:

It has about 7 x 3 x 5 cm.

I used seed beads size 8, 11 and 15 and Rivolis 14 and 10 mm.

Winston, the reindeer

For a long time I refused to bead Christmas Ornaments but now I have fallen in love with Winston, the reindeer. Look yourself, please:

You can find the wonderful, correct instructions here: www.threadabead.com

Actual the filling of his tummy is a glass bauble of 30mm. I had no one, so my Winston has a 30mm cotton wool ball in his paunch.

A little romanticism

After two weeks fighting against several viruses, I needed something beautiful, easy to bead. I found it in the Beadwork-Magazine from August 2013. It is the “Heart to heart-bracelet” by Janet Palumbo. Finally, a pattern where everything is right from the text up to the drawings.

I like the 3-D-effect, the result of using peanut-beads.
