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

Labels: | at 10:03 PM

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.







Thanks for looking !

Bead Crocheted Necklace

Labels: | at 4:02 PM

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 .............

Labels: | at 8:05 PM

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! =)

Problems Uploading Jewelry Pictures

Labels: | at 4:54 AM

Hi everyone.........
I know, I know.... I've been lacking behind in updating my blog again. Thousand apologies!
Took a short break from wirework and now into crocheting with seed/bugle beads. Been at it for the past two weeks or so.

So far, I have completed two bead crocheted bracelets and a necklace. I have problem uploading the pretties over here but I have uploaded them in my Facebook (www.facebook.com/emilysecretpassions.blogspot.com). So, if you want to have a look at the pictures, please head over there.

I'll be making a few more (hopefully) and will upload the pictures in FB if I fail to get them to upload to my blog. Ok.. I'll make this a short one as I've got to string more seed beads .............

So... in the meantime, if you have any inquiries (at all) regarding any of my jewelries, please do not hesitate to email me, ya.

Thanks for your patience & have a nice week ahead!

12 Ways To Be Happy .......

12 WAYS TO BE HAPPY ..............

" It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up.
I have a choice ~
I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty
I have with the parts of my body that no longer work,
or
get out of bed & be thankful for the ones that do.
Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open,
I'll focus on the new day & all the happy memories I've stored away.....
Just for this time in my life.
Old age is like a bank account.
You withdraw from what you've put in.
So, my advice to you would be to deposit a lot of happiness
in the bank account of memories!
Thank you for your part in my Memory Bank.
I am still depositing.

Always keep smiling! "
