Crochet Jewelry ~ Beaded Rope Lariat

15th December, 2012 (Saturday) @ 11.21am

Hi peeps, how are you?  It's been a busy month although it's the school semester break.  I've been trying to complete the items on my "To Do" list and hope to do it before the year ends.  New school semester will begin on the 1st week of January 2013 and its back to "work" again for me.  

Anyway, here's something I want to share......

A bead crochet rope lariat with leave fringe

It's something that I promised a friend and long overdue.


Stringing a length of about 16 feet of  white seed beads
 on a 100 yards of cotton thread.


Crocheting the seed beads  into a rope.


Adequate length, ready to weave the leave fringe onto it. 


In the midst of weaving the leaves.


The completed bead crochet rope lariat.

Okay, right after this I will have to put my mind to editing the step by step photos of my wirework pendant tutorial and hope to submit it to the editor of www.diybeadingclub.com before end of this month.  

Thanks for looking and have a wonderful holiday ahead!

Handmade Wire Wrapped Jewelry ~ Wire Wrapped Bead with Swarovski Pearl Necklace

29th November, 2012 (Thursday) @ 2.43pm

I made this Wire Wrapped Bead with Swarovski Pearls Necklace
 for myself and wore it to my former school reunion gathering.  

I was inspired by Antonija Gospic's Wire Wrapped Bead (www.galleriadivina.etsy.com)  and decided to make  one for myself the night before the event.  Instead of making many more wire wrapped beads, I decided to go with one and complete the necklace with Cream coloured Swarovski Pearls of various sizes.  





Thanks for dropping by!
