Square Solitaire Bracelet and Pendant

A new tutorial is available in my Etsy shop - Square Solitaire bracelets and pendant. The project uses combined beading techniques, and it fits also foe beginners who like a bit of challenge,,, 

Happy beading to you all!

Free Pattern with Kheops par Puca Beads

I have gratefully received some generous quantity of Kheops® beads from Puca of Les Perles de Puca. Thanks so much, Puca!

I am fascinated by the creativity these ingeniously designed, two-hole triangular beads had burst. I have seen many wonderful designs Puca and other designers came up with using this bead, and there are still so many potential designs hidden in it! Can't wait to try some new designs with them.

The Desert Sun beaded component is made with Kheops beads, Japanese seed beads and Swarovski crystal Rivoli stone, and it can be used as a pendant, as a ring and even as earrings. 

I'd like to "pass forward" Puca's generosity, by sharing this project I designed with her beads for free. * Hope you enjoy making it! 

* Please do not post the pages of this free tutorial on other sites - if you want to share it, please share the link to this blog.

** If you want to teach this free beading project in your classes, please pass it forward to your students and teach it for free, too!

Happy Beading!

Grained Leaf Pendant with Rulla Beads

This is a new pendant I designed, using Czech two-hole Rulla (Rula) beads, Swarovski crystal Rivoli stone and Japanese seed beads. The leaf shaped pendant has a 3-dimensional and textural grained look thanks to the use of Rulla beads, and it can be hung from any type of necklace.

The tutorial for this pendant is available in both shops - in my Etsy the file is available for instant download, and in my Artfire the PDF file is sent by me via email. 

This is a rather fast and easy to bead project!

Angel Wings Pendant

This is my newest project - Angel Wings - a reversible pendant, made with seed beads, crystal bicones, drop bead and fire polished beads. A tutorial is available in both my Artfire and Etsy shops. I also included another design option in the tutorial as a bonus.

This is one of those beading projects that are rather simple looking, but it takes quite a lot of time to design, and every single seed bead strung effect the structure of the design. It is quite fun and simple to make, though, if you know how to do so in advance...

Vitrage Beaded Bead / Tassel Pendant

A new tutorial is available for Vitrage - a self-supporting (hollow) beaded bead, or a tassel pendant.

Tribal Geometric Bib Necklace

I have finally finished the necklace I told you about in my previous post and named it Tribal Geometric Bib Necklace. I love how it eventually turned out, so the many trials and errors were worth it! ;) A tutorial for this necklace is already available.

I also made a smaller version of the beadwork and used it as a fan shaped pendant. I might make matching earrings, too, but that could happen only after I will work on somethings else - I just can't see the same beads on my working table for any longer!... ;D
