Zoisite Necklace

I bought this pendant long time ago, then I was at a bead store and I came across these beads, I knew it was a perfect match for my pendant.
A geology professor told me that the stones in my necklace had rubies in them. So I learned something new.
I have one more piece of zoisite, that I probably will make a bead embroidery pendant.

Noah Earrings

This is a free pattern from Elfen Attelier and you can get the free pattern here.
Very simple and easy to make. There are lots of free patterns on this site.

Bead Embroidery VI

This a sunset over the ocean, this pendant is going to be a birthday gift.
I went to a fabric outlet and found faux letter very inexpensive, I could not resist, and it is just perfect for the backing. I will have to take pictures next time of the back.

Bead Embroidery Pendant V

On this pendant I used pink Jade cabochon, cupchain, 3mm crystal beads, 11/0 seed beads and a pearl.
I have a big collection of bead embroidery. I am still making more.
I love how fast I can create a pendant.
I have a lot of cabochons that I keep buying, but I had no clue what to make with them.
Now finally I am using my cabs.

Dewdrops Pendant

This beautiful pendant is a pattern from Feb/March 2014 issue of Beadwork Magazine.
I absolutely love this pendant.
After I was done making it, I realized that I made a mistake on placing the clear teardrops, they should be facing the other way, oh well,  I liked it, so I didn't take apart.
This is a Leslee Frumin's pattern.
This pattern calls for 15/0 seed, 11/0 seed, 3mm crystals, 6mm pearls, crystal teardrop 11x8mm, 3mm crystal bicones, 4mm crystal bicones and crystal teardrop 6x9mm.
The pattern also has a pearl necklace, but I like to use different chains.
I have bought more beads to make another color pendant.

Sea Glass Pendant

Another bead embroidery pendant!!!
My friend Shirley lives in Hawaii, and a while ago she sent me lots of sea glass that she collected on a beach there. So my friend Donna's  birthday is next month, so I thought to use a green sea glass. I have white, brown and green sea glass.
This pendant I kept it simple, one row of cupchain, followed by 4mm Chinese bicones. and #3 blugle beads for the bail.

Bead Embroidery Pendant IV

I am having so much fun creating these pendants. This is a glass cabochons, next is a row of seed beads, then a row of  cupchain, then 8/0 seed beads.
This is going to be a present for a friends birthday, so I hope she will like it.

Bead Embroidery Pendant #3

I

I used a button for the center of this pendant, cut the shank off and filed it.
I bought the button at Hobby Lobby, they have a nice collection of fancy buttons.
I used 4mm bicone around the button, followed by 4mm crystal pearls.
This pendant is very light.

Valentine's Pendant

Another bead embroidery pendant just in time for Valentine's Day.
The cabochon is a resin, I framed it with 3mm bicone crystals and 11/0 seed beads, and a round of crystal cupchain, and the last row is 4mm bicones.

Princess Kate Bracelet

This is the bracelet I was talking about in my previous post. But it was so difficult to photograph.
You can't see how it shines and it looks like a diamond bracelet, it is very luxurious. I love this bracelet.
The materials are tilas, 11/0 seed beads, #3 bugle beads and cupchain.
This pattern is from the Potomac Bead Company YouTube channel.
UPDATE: I had the link for this bracelet, but is has been removed. I am so sorry!!
I hope you like it as much as I do.

Snake Skin Bracelet

This bracelet was made using SuperDuos and 11/0 seed beads.
This free pattern is from Aunties Beads and you can get it here.
I hope you enjoy making this bracelet as much as I did. I thought to be very easy.
I am sorry for the poor quality of the picture.
I actually gave this bracelet to my friend Shirley for Christmas and I had to take a quick picture before I sent it to her.
I do enjoy working with the SuperDuos.
Right now I am working on a bracelet with Tilas, Cupchain, Bugle beads ans Seed beads.
That will be my next post, I am almost done.
Check back later this week to see how beautiful it is. I am in love with it.

Lapis Necklace

I bought several pendants to make necklaces for Christmas presents. This one I kept for myself, a simple strand of 4mm Lapiz Lazuli beads strung on beading wire.
Something to wear with jeans, even though I only wear jeans on the weekends, and then I am to lazy to wear jewelry. The pendants I bought were Moonstone, Jade, Pink Quartz and Lapiz.

Turtle Shell

This pendant is another bead embroidery one, I bought several oval shaped cabochon at JJ Beads in Huntington Beach, CA. The colors are gorgeous.
I used Preciosa cupchain, 8/0 seed beads, 11/0 seed beads and a freshwater pearl. I am really loving bead embroidery.

Starlight

I made this pendant before Christmas, I have been super busy, I was called for jury duty and had to go for 2 days, luckily I was not picked to be a juror, and school started on Monday, so it is crazy.
I found this free pattern on Around the Beading Table website, and you can get the free pattern here.
It was so easy and quick to make it.
I used crystal pearls, superduos, seed beads and druk beads.

Druzy Pendants

Druzys are a passion of mine. I absolutely love them!!
I purchased several druzy pendants and made the above pendant.

And of course I made this one too.
I found matching beads for both pendants, they are gemstone beads.
I get so many compliments when I wear them.
The pendants are heavy, and I wire wrapped each bead. It is time consuming, but I don't mind the work.
I still have a few more pendants, but that will be later.
I bought some in Brazil, some at JJ Beads in Huntington Beach CA and some at the GemFaire.
