Rose of Sharon

This brooch was also designed for the world tour.

It is made in Herringbone-technique, which needs a bit of patience but during those days at sea, time was not a problem.

They are now available in our etsy-shop.

Pincushion "Basket"

Last summer I tidied up a bit my stash and found these wooden bells, we used some years ago to make pincushions. They got a place near to a bag of Halftilas and this idea was born:

To leave the legal limbo you get something new. This pattern is printed. You find it in my etsy-shop.

Minions

Last Wednesday my grandchildren finally got there christmas presents. Now I can show you the both Minions I crocheted.

This is Stuart, who lives now with our grandson Nicolás.
Bob stays with Valerie.

Both are crocheted with seed beads 15° and 42 beads per round.

Lola

This is my project for the croching-book from "Perlen Poesie". I proudly present: Lola

Inside is a wooden ball of 30mm.

Amalia

I bought "Amalia", a pattern from Cordi and Jenny (http://www.fantasiabeads.de) at the last fair. The peacock was quickly made but it was missing the right frame.
Here I present "Amalia on a chain":

The crochet rope (U7) is 90 cm long and there are wooden drops inside the ends.

Car-Li

Now I present my new design - a car.

It is still a bit square but the first Benz was also not so racy.

Hasi

Just before Easter Fantasiabeads http://www.fantasiabeads.de/ released this new pattern.

The little fellow is very cute. I made it, when my grandson was here and he wanted it for his mum.

 

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.

Cally

I bought the pattern for this little fellow on the fair in Hamburg. It is from Fantasiabeads (http://www.fantasiabeads.de/).

For making the first leg I followed the pattern and nearly broke my fingers. So I made the others separatly starting on the feet and then joined the leg to the body with the last element. That was a lot easier.
The weight is nearly the same like the living collegues of this size have.

Beaded sphere "World"

Some of you had this sphere already in their hands in August. Finally I put it on a chain and finished the pattern. You can get it here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/pajaroandson It is crochet with seed beads 15º from Miyuki and there is a wooden bead with 30 mm diameter inside.

Dolphin

I also wanted a beaded dolphin. Here is it:

My Flipper is crocheted.

Petronella

The instructions from Cordi and Jenny fot this Little mouse were already lying around since my birthday. Finally I did it.

My cat wanted to kidnap it.

Bat

This year I may participate on a Halloween-Party. My husband bought me already a hat for a witch. (Shall I give a thought to it?) Well, I needed an adequate adornment. After some trying I created this bat. Meanwhile it is fitted to a small, silver chain.

Backpack

Diane S. Hertzler designed this beautiful pendant for a bag. The pattern is super.

Luitpold

Before I got these wonderful beads from my friend in Hamburg, I had already another combination of colors in mind for the seahorse (pattern by Cordi and Jenny). I had to try it. Here comes the result:

I used seed beads from Miyuki in black (0401) and bohemian facetted beads.

Luis

The „Nordlichter“ made me a gift of the pattern and the material of this little feller.

The pattern is designed by Cordi and Jenny. I used Tohos of the colors 7BDF (8º and 11º),270 (15º) and 3mm Bicones Emerald ABx2.

The world in my hand

Now I present you the result of my newest crochet experiment – a globe.

I used 15° Miyuki seed beads up to 84 beads per round. Inside you find a wooden bead with a diameter of 30 mm.

The original you can see on the Bead-Fair in Hamburg, at the Perlenplanet- booth.
