…compilation of tutorials
Actually it’s time to bead me a nice necklace, e.g. this spiral chain.
At least I find that I should ;-)
She says that it is an easy stitch that is worked quickly.
Once I tried the stitch and I find that she’s right.
Only I gave the necklace away and took (of course!) no photo before.
Well, I have to make it again, this time for me ;-)

You can do a lot with wire – even hair pin lace!
Looks wonderful, the bracelet, doesn’t it?
Oh yes, my list ;-))
But I have already a self-made hair pin lace loom ;-))

Finally a beaded bead again ;-)
I like this one very much, the shape is more dynamic than the one of the easy Peyote beads that I presented at the paper beads.
I haven’t tried them yet (of course!) but I will one day ;-)

Even if the ‘pendants’ don’t really match my liking, I find the idea and the workmanship really great!
In fact she only wrotes as ‘instruction’: “I don’t really have a process on
how I make them it’s a trial and error thing.”
That means that it is my part to realize something to my liking – as necklace, as earring, as pin and so on ;-))
And I have already some tutorials for buttons ;-)

I find this Celtic Circle Knot really beautiful and imagine it depending on the used yarn as an ornament on a card, a pin or a hair decoration.
But I can’t show my own photo yet because my fingers were up until now much too clumsy for it ;-))
And when I have worked it out I can possibly even design my own Celtic Knot ;-)

I have found this tutorial for crocheted wooden beads before and then I lost it – I was quite unhappy!
But now I found it back (somewhere else!) and I’m feeling fine again ;-))
I haven’t tried it yet but I would like to make them with coloured yarns because you can make so wonderful hues with.

I really like wire jewelry and therefore the wire heart fits my interests well ;-)
Here I found somebody who shows her wire heart, beautiful, isn’t it?
My list grows looonger! ;-)

While surfing I found a beautiful spiral button.
I have to give it a try ;-)
If I don’t like it, I can still come back to my own spiral beads ;-)
Or to the folded spirals.
Or the crochet spiral ;-)))

I find those zig-zag stripes soo great but I still haven’t made them.
When I see it lying there I always think that it would be a wonderful necklace…
But somehow it takes more and more a back seat on my “just do it”-list ;-)
I’ve seen different tutorials for new watch straps but I always find it difficult how to attach them.
With the fabric watch-strap cover this is no problem because the original watch strap simply gets a ‘suit’.
Inventive idea!
