Tubular Peyote Earrings

craftster Tubular Peyote Earrings

I find these earrings soo cute!
And they are great to practice the Peyote technique, just as the beads that I combined with my paper beads.
Now at last I can make matching earrings for my paper beads bracelet ;-))

Silvana Barba Mokume Gane Flower

I love pink and orange, find polymer clay Mokume Gane amazing and like big florets: you can surely imagine how I find the instruction for pink orange polymer clay Mokume Gane florets ;-))

Plaster of Paris Beads

Cute, isn’t?
A great idea to simply colour in plaster of Paris and to cast it in ice cube moulds to get funny plaster of Paris beads.
The jewelry you get this way is more durable but not as refreshing as the ice jewelry ;-)
And if you nevertheless prefer to crochet you don’t have to colour in your plaster beads but can instead wrap them in crochet ;-))

Plastic Bag Beads

The NewNew Plastic Bag Beads

I presented already some entries to the subject plastic bags, but none made beads from.
The basic material is a ‘fabric’ from plastic, they’re making beads from just as paper beads.
I like this combination ;-)

Oglala Butterfly Necklace

Actually ruffles are not what I really like, but I find these ‘ruffle necklaces’ somehow fascinating.
I found in internet many pictures of other, equally beautiful necklaces and bracelets.
Later I found another tutorial for these and other ruffles which I used for my beaded bottle.

The tutorial is rather old and I could only find it in web archive: Oglala Butterfly

Bead and Wire Cuff

craftster Bead and Wire Cuff

Doesn’t this cuff look most beautiful?
I like best that there are as well empty as well ‘well filled’ spaces and that there are many little beads but this big eye-catcher as well.
She also describes how you can make it yourself – great, isn’t it?
