Back to Byzantium

Design by Jennifer van Benschoten in Beadwork.
I did adjust quite a bit, but the design is still original.

Royal Lace Edge Necklace

A design of Sandra D. Halpenny

Netting in Turquoise

A design of Maddy Kuijper, slightly adjusted with a.o. a picot and Preciosa crystals.

Brocade Collar in Purple/Bronze/Copper/Topaz

What a beautiful design, I love the effect of the 'ruffled' edges. It's gorgeous!

Tubular Herringbone with Fantasy

Finally some new pieces from me :-)

Tubular Herringbone with Fantasy in the middle. All kinds of Topaz colours.

Beading Challenge Forum Beads4Real

I also entered a Beading Challenge at 'Beads 4 Real' and I won!!!

Beading Challenge Forum Rocailles Enzo

I entered my first beading contest at "Rocailles Enzo". The theme was: summer.

I entered this piece in pink: tubular herringbone chain with spiral rope embellished with a picot of icy drops in the middle.

I got 4th place!

Try Triangles in RAW

My first experiment in Right Angle Weave.

It's a pattern from Bead & Button and my compliments to the one who made it, because it's perfect, it all 'fits' so well together.

I've used Toho silver-lined crystal seed beads & silver Czech Fire-Polished glass.

This is the result:




I couldn't resist to add some matching earrings. Two peyote tubes with a crystal drop:

Crystal Bangle Necklace

Also for ME! In several shades of silver.

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