Pine Spine
Thanks to Best BeadsI got an opportunity to try out Two exciting and new Czech bead shapes - Pellets and double-hole daggers. In this first project, I used them both! And I have already got many new ideas... So stay tuned and watch this space for more inspiration! I am working on a tutorial to this Pine Spine bracelet and it´s gonna be FREE!

The bracelet is double-sided and can be worn both ways. Which side do you like? The plain one or the embellished?




Spiky Rivolis
There are so many ways to capture the beauty of Swarovski round Rivoli stones! This is my last experiment - I used Miyuki beads around the cristal and Czech glass spikes:


...and these hoop earrings appeared probably to balance out the edginess of the spiky ones

Earrings Magma

And so I started to doodle on the set of earrings, utilizing a somewhat different kind of peyote stitch and lay up yesterday. In the beginning it had been truly simply a research to determine where it'd consider me, and I selected creating a minute one aswell after completing up the one.

11/0 seed drops were applied by me in emerald covered white. Then I included only a little base, using beads .
I experienced at that time the set were a bit bit imperfect... Therefore it could be somewhat presented I created this notion to include an 8mm fire-polished glass gem within the middle.

After I completed them both up, experiencing this is I needed 'em, I nevertheless struggled with another thing; leap and hearing hocks -bands. The steel I've sleeping about is silver, and that I sensed when I'd include silver, it could come too powerful out.

Now, I wound up getting caught in traffic on my coach (where some incident on the highway,. Unsure what had occurred nonetheless), and that I skipped my second one. And so I sprang to that shop again to truly have a browse around. And fortunately, they'd gotten some fresh material in, plus they had leap and some hearing hocks -bands in gunmetal... Joink! Mine!

Mhmmm...
I have not had the opportunity to obtain my brain from these covered bracelets for a significant while. I am talking about... They're all around the internet, and also have been atleast because this past year - They possibly existed longer but's start this past year is after I started focusing !

I'd this black orange/gray cotton wire sleeping around since spring and that I chose to really place it as well as some roundel beads, with a use that I've been meaning to use for... Well, anything.
That anything been a covered band heh, ultimately.

It was not really that difficult when you got a hold of it to create. Are lots of lessons that are various available, all that's necessary to complete is use Google. I did not actually utilize any particular guide for research since I have viewed several movies about this to determine how individuals created them within their own method, though they're virtually exactly the same; all the lessons for this band:)

Faublous Fireplace and the Massive Carp

Have we described for you however that I'm COMPLETELY hooked on enamels? Also my have we been having a good time! we totally enjoyed tinkering with sgrafitto in enamels in early stages. We subsequently found Barbara Lewis engagement approach to torch shooting beads and other jewelry pieces if that wasnt entertaining enough. We liked playing in most the fantastic colour and seeing the enameled blend towards the bead within the fire. we find this new talent to become quite calming towards the heart. Healing in the event that you can, although dangerously addicting. Ill need certainly to wait per week to obtain more. Icant imagine when we go out how Sick deal. Did we mention this talent is much like the break of the jewelry arts? Ok last one I'm ill. We was a lady had, operating until 1:00 a.m. to complete it and started it recently about 5:00. I'd to become up in the break of dawn, and through we tried to persuade me that finding rest was the better strategy it was difficult to obtain my mind from the small carp artwork that was visiting life before my eyes.By fusing a couple of levels of counter enamel to a base of white and the back to the front within The first phase we ready my copper base. When The foundation was ready we received my style available to size in my own laptop then we cut and formed the cloisonn cable to create each aspect of small lily pad and my carp. We make use of a product called Blu- as they are being set by me Stay Glued To stuff the wires in position. It is approximately exactly the same regularity and appears like orange elmers glue but it burns clear within the shooting process. You can observe some remnants of it within the image. I'd not yet terminated the cables into place.Within the next phase we start moist packing them into the cells produced by the cloisonn wire and choose my pallet of colours. Until all the cells are full we include enameled towards the cells, fire it within the flashlight to blend that layer and then moist bunch again. This Can Be A procedure repeated often, fusing layer upon layer of glass. The dried enamel appears like colourful mud. Prior to the enamel is fired the color is a lot brighter, and then it darkens with stunning results.This Is Actually The moist loaded style unfired:And this is actually the style after shooting once the enamels have dim:The cells are complete and after numerous layers are fused eliminate extra glass that might be covering the wire design and the picture is floor again with an alundum stone to level the area. Drops were then torch shot by me in coordinating colours to produce a pendant to exhibit off my new buddy. We totally love the look, the colours and anything about my newest piece. We can't wait to determine easily remain steadfast in my own enameling tests what my work within the next year will deliver.Delia, we simply think it's great and also took up torch flames enameling. Its like starting a new existing whenever I actually do a piecenot knowing things to expect, because this really is so new in my experience. I've yet to test cloisonne. Benefit From The journey!CindyCindy, I truly surprised me with this specific little man. we say, be brave, be strong! The worst thing that sometimes happens is that we need certainly to start over and create a mistake. The levels are lower and there's so much to achieve.Stunning! I REALLY LIKE following along in your trip. You're the same as me when I'm studying something new do cant eat, cant sleep, cant think about other things. Really, it's falling in-love! Ive always respected cloisonne, and possess a stash of beads. Nevertheless, they usually feel too adult or oldfashioned for my client. I really like vintage, however they dont actually feel vintage. But THIS LITTLE GUY!!! Hes contemporary and the colours are etc pattern! I believe you've a genuine winner here!!!!Desiree, that's the very best explanation Ive noticed regarding that all-consuming get that sweeps you away. Like falling in-love it truly is! I am aware that which you mean about some cloisonn appearing to feel too oldfashioned. I believe of the orange beans using the flowers throughout them. They don't turn us on, whilst I've developed an appreciation for that design of these items. I'm thinking about entertaining cloisonn do small artistic images coated in fireplace. They make my heart happy. Thanks for that comment btw. It surely motivates me to generally share more of my trip over here.This Really Is beautiful, Delia. The colours are stunning and the look is incredible! I noticed your article about the Painting with Fire website.I'd no notion complicated items such as this might be torch terminated. Where do you learn how to do that?JoyceThanks Joyce. we began tinkering with sifted enamels earlier within the year after getting Linda Dartys book like a Christmas present from my mom-in-law. It's sections of enameling function on the broad spectral range. In my opinion it had been on facebook that we found a movie of the fundamental torch shot cloisonn item. The thing is that we didnt so icant point you towards the movie save the majority of my google searches, but it will show up when you research facebook for flashlight fired cloisonne. I'd acquired an acceptable quantity of self-confidence and chose to just do it now and attempt to create my initial cloisonn do the mermaid in copper cloisonn after having fun with Barbaras method.Hi Joyce,Thanks for the kind words. I'll be having fun with this colour blend much more. And to consider we once got an aversion to red and blue together do not anymore. I enjoy how they enhance one another. we believe they're really opposites about the colour wheel, so perhaps that will seem sensible. Facebook was very useful. In my opinion it had been there that we discovered that you can torch flames cloisonn. we never felt like we found anyone good strong supply but mixing the data we found spread over the web took us quite a distance toward the conclusion line. Its an enjoyable, simple and inexpensive approach to enable you to get started. The only real difference in resources utilized in the torch shot drops to cloisonn really are a paint-brush or two, a shooting tripod and a trivet. For the flashlight shot from being set up for cloisonn function drops youre no more than a $25 difference in resources therefore when youre set up. I say do it now. Youll think it's great!Its totally spectacular Delia! I'm so happy we surely got to see it yesterday in the marketplace, since we doubt youll maintain it, somebody should already be carrying it glowing:)Cheers Arielle. I'm so delighted with it do we just created a different one lastnight that I'll be revealing here shortly. I'm only burning! Pun intended. lol I'm telling ya, if that one doesnt look for a house quickly it might just land in my jewellery box.Stunning Work.would like to discover enameling!!Thanks Barb. I say do it now, if you're serious. You are able to start having a $35 torch go in the electronics shop do no requirement for an expensive dealers torch to start out. Its so much fun!

This isnt sitting correct!Miniature hematite disks sit on each end of the chunky glass beads, subsequently leap rings My mistake I used headpins overly short to create suitable loops!Fortunately, I've much more! Looooots. Nonetheless, when I wore these large fearless earrings around a tiny, I determined they were way to large for my inferior lobes! Maybe I haven't worn large earrings for some time, so they really have gone into a holding place between to recycled and recycledIt looked an excellent thought to create a committed earring undertaking carton, as I had been tidying up the work-station. In Sham Shui Po I found pairs of stupid small charms for exactly the same rationale. I could scan for fixings because of this recently sorted carton, while making other tasks as I go through other cartons.
