Violetta

Although I did not post for a long time, I am not inactive. I am preparing the new school-year.
Then I try something new. Here is a photograph to give you an idea.

This mouse is crocheted. It did not want to be on a picture, so the photograph is not really nice.

Geckos

I found this pattern on Pinterest.

The necklace is made with seed beads 15° and 15 beads per round.

Sonokos Way with drops

Today I present the next necklace following the instructions of Sonoko Nozue. This time I used seed beads 8° and drops 3,4 mm.

Sonoko's way

In the Bead & Button Magazine from February 2014 explaint Sonoko Nozue her way of bead croching. Now I tried it myself.
I do not know, if I have read the pattern correctly. But I like the result.

I used 3mm pearls and facetted beads of the same size.

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.

Verona

Because I like the side parts of the "Firenze" by Yvonne King very much, I brought them into the center. The result is the necklace "Verona".

I used pearls from 8 to 12 mm. It is a necklace for every day, but it is also prepared for the evening.

Firenze Necklace

This necklace was not the first on my to-do-list, but then a friend persuaded me to make it. Now I am happy that I did. It is suitable for daily use.

The pattern has been written by Yvonne King and you find it in the Beadwork Magazine February 2014.
