Hello Beads Friends!
In this video I want to show you my last creation: it's a bead embroidery necklace. Precisely I made a bead embroidery pendant using a polymer cabochon I made 2 months ago. I surrounded this polymer clay cabochon first with some Miyuki tringle beads size 10/0 (colour number 2006) and then with some charlotte beads size 13/0. The colours of the charlotte beads I used are bronze and cream. Then I completed my pendant creating the decoration upon the polymer clay cabochon, always using triangle beads and charlotte beads. I used ultra-suede cloth as a base for my embroidery work. I really love the ultra suede and I decided to try it because on my embroidery book I read that ultra suede is the suggest cloth for the embroidery technique. I'm really satisfied, beacuse ultra suede is soft and thin, but it's also very tough. For making the necklace I created a tubular herringbone using charlotte beads size 13/0. I started my tubular herringbone with 6 charlotte beads. The last step was appling a t-bar finding. I hope that all my explanations are clear and I hope that this beaded necklace can be an inspiration for you. See you soon on the next video.
Have a nice beading!

Hello Beads Friends!
In this video I want to show you my last creations: it's a ring with a central plastic cabochon size 18mm bezeled with charlotte beads size 13/0 and size 15/0. I worked with peyote stitch and I started with 56 charlotte beads size 13/0. I had some problems to create a bezel using these 2 sizes of charlotte beads, because charlotte beads size 15/0 are not smaller enough if you use them aside charlotte beads size 13/0. Maybe it's better starting this kind of work with seed beads size 15/0 (by Miyuki or Toho), because seed beads size 15/0 are a little bit bigger than charlotte beads size 13/0. First of all I bezeled my plastic cabochon, I made 4-5 rounds of charlotte beads size 13/0, and 4 rounds of charlotte beads size 15/0. Then I made the band of my ring, always using peyote stitch, and at least I made the turquoise decoration all around my beaded bezel cabochon. I created some picot using charlotte beads size 15/0 on the band of my ring to cover the white thread on the edge of the peyote stitch band. I hope that all my explanations are clear and I hope that this ring can be an inspiration for you, see you soon on the next video.

Hello Beads Friend!
In this video I want to show you my last creations: it's an embroidery post earring with a red polymer clay cabochon size 18mm in the centre. First of all I glued the cabochon I made on my cloth, and then I started sewing my beads on my cloth, without following any project, I just let my imagination go and step by step I decided which kind and colous of beads I wanted to use. To create the particular 3D effect of this earring I worked on "two layers", because sometimes I put the yellow seed beads size 15 upon the delica beads, and I really love the final effect. I hope that all my explanations are clear and I hope that this earring can be an inspiration for you, see you soon on the next video.

Hello Beads Friends!
I made these new polymer clay cabochons maybe 3 weeks ago and now I'm here because I want to show them to you, and I want to explain all the steps to create the very simple cane I started from. For the first polymer clay cabochons I used just three colour of Kato Polyclay (white, black and gold) and I used four Kato Polyclay colours (white, black, gold and blue) for the second kind of polymer clay cabochon. I hope that this video can be useful and that my explanations are clear, see you soon on the next video.
Have a nice beading!
