Experiment #1
Yesterday, I went to Joann's and I bought Beadweaving with Cabochons by Marie Geraud because I LOVED her Syrah design. I think I'm missing something when it comes to tension, either I have too much or not enough in some places, it might end up that I have both problems. This was my feeble attempt at one motif.
I have a lot of work ahead of me. It was also very silly of me to buy the grey rounds without buying corresponding grey bicones. Sigh. Thankfully I had enough for one motif even though I have no idea what I'm going to do with this.

It looks beautiful. Maybe you could attach some type of backing to it and use it as a pendant on a beaded necklace ?
ReplyDeleteMy biggest frustration with making jewelry is I never seem to have everything that I need and am always having to purchase more and more supplies. :) I find that when I have a problem with tension in beading it's because I've substituted beads that weren't in the original design such as #11 Delica beads
instead of the more rounded, Czech #11 seed beads. Other times it is just the thread that I use, some threads stretches more than others.
Nissa - I found a beaded pendant design that is a little different than this one but has a lot of the same feel and look to it. Unfortunately the directions are written in Hungarian but has a lot of step by step photos so it may not be too hard to follow. The beaded pendant instructions can be found at http://krisztigyongy.blogspot.com/2010/08/itt-greta-mintaja.html
ReplyDeleteHola amiga, me acabo de encontrar on tu blog y me he quedado maravillada de tus trabajos. Te felicito pues tiene mucho merito.
ReplyDeleteSoy una aficionada más en la bisuteria con delicas japonesas e igualmente intento hacer mis creaciones con alguna guia de otras artistas aficionadas pero siempre me gusta darle un toque personal.
Sigue adelante y gracias por mostrarnos tus trabajos. Mi favorito es el brazalete de la piedra rosa y delicas negras. Es maravilloso!
Un saludo
