Beaded Rose Quartz Cabochon ~ Pendant

Hello again! Here's another piece that I've completed. As a matter of fact, this is the first piece that I started on before the beaded turquoise donut pendant but crocheting the all-white beaded rope necklace took a lot of my time (stringing very long lengths of japanese seed beads & then crocheting it)

I've use peyote stitch for this Rose Quartz cabochon (30 x 40 mm) with small fringes around it. The opened back of the cab is also stitched up and looks as good as the front.




Thanks for dropping by!

Beaded Turquoise Donut Pendant

Okay, here is something that I got done over the weekend. This is my first peyote stitch beaded pendant and more is to come. I have always admire those beautiful beaded pendants in Etsy and have even thought of owning a piece, but now that I have already learned (through trial and error and wasted threads!) the peyote stitch, I am gonna make one for myself.





This pendant is stitched with size 11 & 15 Miyuki seed beads and Turquoise Donut as the focal.

I hope your week is off to a wonderful start!
Have a great day!

Beaded Stitched Bracelet ...... with seed beads

Okay, a couple of stuff that I got done over the weekend ..........

This is my first bead stitched bracelet (Colour Swirls) from Marcie Abney's design (Beadwork Magazine, June/July 2010). The pattern of swirling colours in this fluid bracelet makes them complex, the look is easy to achieve by stitching multi-coloured rounds of circular peyote stitch.

I made many pieces but a few was unsuccessful due to broken seed beads as needle tried to pass through the holes and had to stitch them all over again.
I got carried away after the first bracelet and did another piece just to practice on the technique (as they say.... practice makes perfect, right?)

These bracelets are so light in weight that you don't realise wearing
it on your wrist.

Bead Crocheted Necklace

Hello...... thanks for dropping by! I know it's been more than a week since you heard from me last but bead stitching time have taken me away from the computer and deny me the time to play with my wires. In addition, I've been having problem with poor quality pictures ever since I dropped my hp camera on numerous occassions. Getting a DSRL (or is it DRSL?) camera is my last resort as my son has also been persuading me to get one.

Well.... anyway.... am still on bead stitching and will post new pics as soon as I complete a piece or two of my projects. Here's two necklaces which was completed about a week ago or so and is already listed at www.handmade.my/EmilySecretPassions.


Bead crocheted necklace (Turkish crochet) with silver twisted bugle beads
& purplish seed beads and Amethyst gemstone chips as links.


Bead crocheted necklace with black bugle beads/ red seed beads with Red Coral gemstone chips as links.

Please convo me if you want the necklace to be replaced with other colours.

That's it for now. Have a wonderful weekend all!

Crocheting beads into .............

Hello gals and guys (if there's any)....... everything's quiet again as today is a schooling day. I had taken some time off from wirework and had a "busy day" the whole of Saturday and Sunday stringing meters and meters of beads and crocheting them into jewelries. I am so addicted to this now. It's not that am gonna stop playing with wires but just to try out other things.

Finally, I managed to upload some pictures here after encountering problems earlier. The pictures are not very clear though as some pictures I uploaded tended to be upside down and whatnots.

Anyway..... here's what I completed and there's a few more to be done.


These flexible bead crocheted necklaces (turkish loops)
are made out of plain/twisted bugle beads and japanese seed beads.
The length of each is about 17" - 18", including the toggle clasp.
The diameter of the rope is about 0.8 cm.

Plain white bugle beads with light/dark blue japanese seed beads.

Twisted silverlined bugle beads with black japanese seed beads.

This is a crocheted beaded rope bracelet. It looks stiff but very flexible when worn. The diameter of the rope is approximately 0.8cm but could also be made slightly slimmer or broader. This beaded rope bracelet will be custom-made to your wrist size.

They are all available for customization, be it necklace or bracelet. Just convo me your choice of colours (many colours available) and preferred length for the necklace.

Thanks for looking! =)
