I like to work with Japanese triangle beads. They give the bead woven piece a nice and interesting texture. This is my last item I made using some to surround a nice glass bead to make a pendant.
I am now in the very beginning of my first embroidered work, and I can tell you that it is fun, although a bit difficult to me. I do a lot of unpicking while working, because I am not used to work with the backing material, and often bring my needle up in the wrong place… It's a bit annoying (but of course there is no other way to practice on this…) so I decided to take a breake and write a new post.. :)
Smadar,
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your new embroidery design.
The triangle beads with the lampwork bead looks great!

ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous lampwork bead in your soothing and harmonious necklace!
ReplyDeleteDo you make glass beads yourself?
Very nice! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteWonderful pendant! I like these colours, too!
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone :)
ReplyDeleteTriz, I can't wait to see what you come up with the triangles.. :)
Mags, I don't make glass beads myself, although I would love to, if only I had the spare time to try this art as well... :)
Dear Smadar,
ReplyDeleteThis necklace is lovely and very delicate. I hope you feel better by now.
Regarding the embroidery - maybe you should not expect from yourself to finish it so quickly. It may take a long process, but I am sure it's going to be worthy to go through it. Very often, before a burst of creativity, there are difficult "downs". I think the deeper they are - the more creative we are.
You are doing right to make other jewels in parallel.
Have a good day,
Judith
Thanks, Judith, I do feel better :)
