This project took awhile to make, maybe 8-10 hours just to make all the petals and leaves. The hardest was making the pink flower petals, using the thinnest needle, the beads would crack at the tip of the petal and I would have to start all over....
Assembling the brooches took another 2 hours. This project is the last in my beads course and I can now get a certificate for it. My next class starts in 2 weeks and I'll be doing projects which review the different stitches that I've learned.
This project took over 10 hours. Each heart needed 2 sides sewn together.
This is a choker using the square stitch. This stitch wasn't too hard to learn and only took about 3 hours to make.
This bracelet was very difficult to make especially the pointy ends. I had to re-work one side 6 times before I could finish it.
Here is my latest bead project, a herringbone tube lariat. It took a REALLY long time just to stitch the lariat. The little decorations at the end were the easy part. :) Now to catch up on some other projects that have been neglected...
Today was the last bead stitch class for 2006. I finished most of this project the other day and attached the toggle and bar at class today.
This necklace is made using the peyote stitch. It kind of reminded me of a winding staircase.
All done! Since I'll be going back to Hawaii for a bit, the next class for me will be in April.
