Bling Rings Bracelet

This bracelet is a pattern by Kelly Dale from Off the Beaded Path.
I love Kelly's tutorials and I have been a fan for quite some time.
This pattern use 6mm fire polished beads, 4mm fire polished beads, 11/0 seed beads and I used a magnetic clasp, I did not make the toggle clasp as in the video, because my wrist is very small and it would have been to big for me.
You can watch Kelly's tutorial here
She also has a tutorial for a necklace and for earrings as well.
I haven't made them yet. That will be will for the future.

She also has tutorial for a matching ring, earrings and a bridal choker, they are all beautiful.
I bought my glass pearls at Hobby Lobby when they are on sale for $.99. and the seed beads are Miyuki rose gold.

Trefoil Earrings

Those earrings are from the book Bead Metamorphosis by Lisa Khan.
I am still working on the bracelet, it calls for slider beads, but I don't like the color I have, so I am waiting until I have the beads to finish it.

Karol

I am making this into a pendant. The original video is for earrings, but for me is a little to heavy, so it is a pendant.
The free tutorial is from YouTube, the pattern is by Alessandra Cava from Chou Chou Creazione.
You can find the free tutorial here
This tutorial is in Italian, I understand Italian, so for me it is not a problem following the Italian tutorials.
It is hard to see the pendant, because of the crystals, I find it very difficult to photograph, because of the bling.
I hope you like it!!

Shibori Pendant

I bought shibori ribbon from Aria Design Studio and I made a bead embroidery pedant.
I used some 4mm bicones, 11/0 seed beads, a few marquise rhinestones and a metal filigree, my picture is not so good, the middle hanging part is to the side, I will have to retake this picture again.
The weather is not so good, so it will have to wait.

Tassel Pendants


A few years ago I was at the GemFaire and I bought a necklace with some pretty nice size gemstones, it was a place were they sell liquidations items and is super cheap, so I bought my necklace for $2, I was so happy, and as usual I thinking of what am I going to turn those gems into?
The trend right now is tassels on pendants, and I have a nice selection of them that I purchase a few years ago. Do you see a pattern? I buy things, with no idea of how I am going to use them. Later ideas pop into my head. I am sure that the majority of beaders are hoarders like me.
Well anyway, I took the necklace apart and made a few long pendants for 2 of my daughters, and the pendants above are mine.
What do you think? Do you like them?
My daughters and I love them.
