Ruffles!


As a beader, I am constantly looking for new projects to try my hands on! :)

You see, I have this habit of buying ALL and ANY book or magazine on beading and crafts. So occasionally, I peruse these materials and try my hands on some of the projects. Most of the time, the designers publish the tutorials, which makes learning the art very easy (if you understand the basics).

I have some copies of BEADWORK Magazine. It is customary for this magazine to publish some beading projects. I ALWAYS attempt these published projects (and sometimes I add my touch) Sometime ago, I attempted making my own version of Shelley Nybakke's GOLDEN-EDGED RUFFLES which was published in the December 2007/January 2008 edition of the Beadwork Magazine.

Here are some of the necklaces I've made following the instruction as published by Shelley Nybakke.





I say a BIG THANK YOU to Shelley Nybakke for making this tutorial available.

Thanks for viewing!


Golden Cellini

Cellini Spirals. Always beautiful to behold. I recently made this Golden Cellini necklace.  Like all other projects, I'd say it turned out right. :)

The earrings however were like little cup cakes!

Black and White!

My professional career enjoins that I dress in dark/sober coloured clothes (mostly black). As a result, most of my suits and other office wears are BLACK! 



I wanted to have a piece of jewelry that I could wear with 'almost' any attire. This prompted me to make a black and white beaded bracelet. After I made the first one, I wore it for a few days and thereafter, it changed ownership!

I had to replace it ASAP. So, I made this one for myself!
