Hello Beads Friends!
In this video I want to show you the last Russian Spiral samples I made. Using bugles and changing the starting sequence, I created a sort of “twisted” Russian Spiral that is very easy to make. At the beginning of the video I will show you the samples I made and I will tell you the starting sequence for every sample. Then in the tutorial we will learn together how to make one of the three sample. Here you can find the Tutorial to make knots, and here you can learn how to sew a finding on your spiral. I hope that the tutorial is clear and see you soon on the next video.
Have a nice beading!

Rivoli earrings. I bezeled a Rivoli Swarovski using Seed beads and Peyote Stitch technique

Hello Beads Friends!

In this video I want to show you the last pair of earring I have made. I bezeled a Rivoli Swarovski size 16mm using Duracoat seed beads size 15/0. I didn't use the standard pattern to bezel my Rivoli, but I started from the centre with 35 beads, and then I increased the number of beads on every round until I reached the right dimension to set the Rivoli inside the bezel. At this point I started work on the back decreasing the number of beads. The embellishments and the post earring are made using the Right Angle Weave technique.

Have a nice beading!
