Experiments!

Recently, a friend of mine asked me to make a necklace for her. The colour code was blue.

She wanted the necklace to be ready on time. Now that was a problem for me because, I am a weekend beader. Yes, I use most of my weekends to bead! Well, I was determined to deliver on time! So, I set out to work . . .

This was the first thing I made. The plan was to make enough to go round a neck. Somehow, I was not satisfied.

Then I made these pendants. I considered it "wrong" for the occasion.

Finally, I made this mini encapsuled necklace with the matching earrings!

My First Cellini!

This is my first Cellini Bracelet!

I wish I could write a story about this bracelet. I intend to do a matching necklace and maybe one small earring :)

Happy Beading!

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!

Nested!

Hello!

This is the first of my "re-post". Yes, I had posted this picture on the previous blog.

During the last elections in Nigeria (April 2011) there was a very long break which coincided with the Easter holiday. I spent that weekend doing what I love doing - creating some crafts and jewelries. One of such was this set I made. I was so excited at the final result...

I called it "Nested". This is because each one is made like a nest with eggs in it!

A Little Introduction!

This blog was "created" strictly to showcase my beadworks and other crafts!

I am an avid beader. I enjoy making things with beads. As a result of my love for beaded crafts and all forms of beadwork I joined several sites and of course I learnt a lot! That is one big advantage of the Internet! :)

When I first opened this blog, my intention was to do so under a different 'web' identity. Alas! I could not continue with the dual personality. As a result, I closed the blog (temporarily). Now, after serious consideration, I have decided to reopen the blog...

I will use this blog to display some of my beaded projects!

Welcome to my beading room!

Spiral Button Ring

This post (and some others) had been published before in my first blog. But when I changed my url I noticed that the Linkwithin keeps redirecting to the old post. In order to rectify this, I decided to "re-post" the affected posts. This is the first.


The picture below is one of my first Ring projects. After making this ring, I displayed it by wearing it to work. My colleagues admired it and asked me to make some for them! :)

3-in-3 Chain Maille Bracelet

One of the major reasons for starting this blog is to showcase my creative side. I decided to map out a blog schedule for myself. As much as possible, I'll ensure I do a post at least once a week! It could be more (God help me). The post might not necessarily be jewelry or craft related, but I'll put up a post weekly.

Today, I want to share my very first Chain maille bracelet! I call it "3-in-3 Chain Maille Bracelet".

I intend to embellish this bracelet later on. When I do, I'll post the new look.
