Hot copper warms me up!

Is it Russia? Is it Siberia? Oh, no! That's Alexandria, VA, on February 6. In D.C. metro area a snowstorm totals around 1.5 to 2 feet are common, with some places up to and past 30" or 36". Unbelievable! And I'm glad, that these severe days I'm warmed up with the stuff I received from from Artbeads.com.

For sure, Valentine’s Day beads and components can make happy any beadworker because of coming holiday, but copper elements did warm me up this weekend when I worked!

Don't wonder please, as a focal of my first copper necklace I used Copper Heart Toggle Clasp; and I added a mix of copper beads, bright and dark copper color seed beads, copper coins from oriental countries, jasper donuts and leopard skin jasper rounds, some other elements, and I'm done! Hot Copper Mix Necklace is ready.

The focal of my second necklace is a regular Copper Heart Shaped Leaf Pendant; Delica beads and teardrop beads with AB coating were a nice addition, they helped me create Copper Heart Leaf Necklace.

Indian Summer At The Door

It's already autumn outside... the grass is getting yellow... the leaves turn to red, brown and yellow... Some people can say, the nature is dying, I say it's falling asleep, and it makes us enjoy with its fantastic, cheerful and festive colors - Indian summer at the door!

When the sun rises, autumn colors flash out showing fall beauty, and water drops after night rain sparkle like diamonds! I like this season, and once I've already created the Autumn Splendor Necklace. This year the spring was pretty long and cold - but the fall is warm and beautiful, that's why I returned to the autumn theme.

Remembering my Tropical Blossom Necklace, I decided to use Swarovski pendants again, and that brought me to Artbeads.com. My husband said, "Good choice!" I have no idea what he meant, whether Artbeads.com or beautiful pendants they sell. In general, it doesn't matter, I found out what I was looking for.

I received red magma, olivine, light topaz, and copper Swarovski crystal pendants, and bought silk ribbons of bright autumn colors at the closest craft shop. Appropriate Czech glass teardrop and leaf accent beads, and TOHO 15/0 yellow and green seed beads should have been good much to my staff.

I wrapped up memory wire blank necklace and used it as the base of my piece, and embellished it with Czech beads; then I wound it with bead strings and made fringes with crystal pendants. The last touch was the brass leaf closure. The necklace could be named Autumn Wreath, but I call it Indian Summer, because Indian summer is outside!

Lone Snowflake Necklace

Even though my last fall and winter were very busy with the development of my new permanent studio in the Torpedo Factory Art Center (Alexandria, VA), I couldn't miss this season and not to create another winter piece. I didn't have enough time to design something like Lone Snowflake Necklace:

that made the First place in Ice Queen Challenge held by Bead Mavens, and idea to create a smaller necklace came to me. So, I went to Artbeads.com...

Then I narrowed my search to pendants... Good choice! But I had to go further, and my search for pendant crystals gave me the result I was in need of.

I decided, just two sorts of beads: TOHO 11/0 clear transparent and TOHO 15/0 black. In addition to that, amazing coral-like Coral Crystal pendants by Swarovski I found out on Artbeads.com became a perfect match to "coral brunches" woven using seed beads.

What about focal? I continued my search and discovered on the site a beautiful Flat Baroque Pendant Crystal by Swarovski, that looked like a flower, frozen in ice! Done! I believe you can guess the name of the necklace: Flower, Frozen in Ice.

Make of the day and a project (thanks to Mummy!)

Today I made this pendant which has a chunky faceted Rock Crystal drop surrounded by white freshwater pearls.

This is going to become one of my collections which will have this pendant which is ideal for Bridesmaids, a fuller necklace which will have a fan effect with the Rock Crystal drops, Earrings and a bracelet.

It will also come in a midnight version which will have oxidised silver and black agate beads instead of pearls - perfect for a glitzy night out!

My Mum also gave me a broken silver matchstick holder, it is really pretty and decorative and both decided it would make a fab belt buckle so that is what I plan to do!

Silver Spirals Necklace

I have been working on a new collection recently which is made from sterling silver. It is formed to produce a shell like shape.

The pics just dont do it justice! The inside is super shiney with a hollow blue glass bead and the outside is matted. It hangs from a 30" chunky belcher chain.

I also plan to make this in other materials.

I would love to hear what you think!

Speak soon

Heart of Glass

I have a jewellery party coming up next week and have been asked if I can have a wide range of prices.

I dont really have any jewellery under £10 so thought these pendants would be perfect! They are made from glass, really chunky and hang from a beaded necklace.

Hope they go down well!

I would love to hear your thoughts.

Tutorial Making Beaded Wreath Pendant Part 1

Following from my previous post on Beaded Wreath Pendant - Tutorial In Progress, I have compiled the process pictures on making the jewelry! It is not great but I hope it helps. I think the pictures are self explanatory too. In any case, if you need help, you can drop me an email too.

I am splitting the tutorials into 3 posts. Here is part 1.

Materials to make this pendant:
15 green colour 4mm Swarosvki crystals
60 crystal colour 3mm Swarosvki crystals
24 white colour 3mm Swarosvki crystals

Tools Needed
• 2 Needles measuring 12
• Nylon thread measuring 0.25
• Scissors
• Pliers (Optional)

1. Cut approximately 1.5m of nylon thread measuring 0.25 in length and thread it through your needle at both ends. Leave about 2cm tails at both ends.
You will pass the beads through the needles throughout the creation of the ring!

Tips:
You may use the pliers to flatten the tips of the thread so that it is easier to thread into the needles.

2. Thread in 2 3mm crystals, 1 4mm green crystals and 1 3mm crystal thru 1 one of needle and pull it to the centre of the nylon string.

2. Cross the other side of the thread into the last cystal.

3. Continue to thread in 1 green crystal on the right thread and 1 clear crystal on the left thread. Cross both thread into 1 more clear crystals. You will repeat step 3 until you reach your desired length for the circle.

4. When you reach your desired length, you will end the last set by adding in 1 green crystal and 1 clear crystal on the right and left threads respectively.

6. You will then cross the threads into the clear crystal from the other end.

Pull the thread and you will see a circle is formed.

Continue with part 2 in the next post!
