Peyote stitch pen pattern 7

Hello everyone! Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I have been busy studying and working, once I am on holidays I will have more time to make things and post things!

Here is something I have been working on for a while, hopeing to finish it soon, so I haven't posted the whole image yet. It is my favourit pattern to make, and not as easy as it looks at first. It is basicaly little flower going round the pen, I have made it lavender and white before, which also looked really pretty!

I tried to zoom in, to show you what it looks like close up!!

Crystal Necklace

This is a crystal necklace that I made using and old necklace my Nanna gave me. The crystals she gave me are very good quality, but when I received the necklace the metal eye pins between them has rusted over. So I cleaned the crystal beads and restrung them with colours between them. The blue and green crystals are old ones I had at home, and are not very good quality, so I am going to clean and re-string the crystals again, without the colour between them, or with smaller clear crystal between them. My Aim is to find real silver eye pins, so they don't rust again.

Hopefully I will be able to show you the finished product!

Do you like it?

Lampwork glass beads

I really love lampwork glass beads. So I decided to show some of the ones I have bought over the years that I really love. As you can see they come in a range of colours and shapes. My personal favourite are the rose buds, they cost me a fortune and I haven't found something worthy to make them into yet.

Crystal Bracelets

I have also made some bracelets using the swarovski crystal elements. I use a wooden bangle and decorate them how ever I please. On these two I have covered them completely and used ribbon, but I hope in the future to incorporate lace and glitter into them to make some thing a bit different.

The purple one is 100% finished, but the blue one I am still not sure about, I am considering painting the white part blue or buying smaller crystals to fill the gaps.

Here they are:

Peyote stitch pen pattern 6

This is one I made yesturday. It is a ziz zag pattern, it's a tiny bit hard to see because of the colour of beads I used. It also has a matte finish instead of a glossy one because of the finish on the beads. I find that using beads that are made the same(e.g. silver lined, clear ect.) make the piece look more effective. Although mixing it up works well also!
