Crystal Bangle Necklace

Also for ME! In several shades of silver.

I love this pattern of the 'crystal bangle' from Bead Infinitum:

Anemone for Me!

Finally something for ME!

I went all out: 310 Swarovski bicones in 8 different silver colours (crystal silver, crystal metallic silver, crystal comet argent light, white opal star shine, crystal satin, crystal vitrail, crystal comet argent light 2 x, crystal metallic silver 2 x) and 650 galvanized silver Toho rocailles.

It's BLING, but I absolutely love it!

Two by Two for Marijke & Alison

Quite flashy...:

Purple for Marijke (with more than 250 Swarovski bicones!):


Blue for Alison:


Marijke wanted a less flashy (:-)) for during the day in bright pink LOL:

Anemone with Jade for Margriet

All my girlfriends will have to get used to the fact that from now on they'll get beaded jewelry for every birthday LOL

This one is for Margriet:

Techniques Combined

The seed beads fascinate me and as I'm starting to learn more techniques (Spiral Rope, Anemone, Two by Two, Herringbone, Peyote), it's a challenge to combine them!

Spiral Rope with Two by Two

I've found a perfect forum to learn more techniques, communicate with fellow beaders and get inspired:
