I find these beads most beautiful!
I will put them immediately on my Oh-how-I-want-to-make-this-list ;-))

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?

Woven Silver Wire Ring
I find this ring most beautiful, it is braid from five strands of two silver wires each and the beads are attached at the ends.
Simply yet striking.
Is seems that it looks also wonderful if braided from copper wire – there was some copper wire laying around here somewhere…
;-)
By the way the braiding with five strands doesn’t seem to be very difficult.

Paper Jewelry
Aren’t these wonderful paper beads? They are part of a necklace.
She has muuuch more paper jewelry, each item more beautiful than the next.

Beaded Leaves
These leaves are a kind of Peyote leaves and they are called ‘Russian St. Petersburg leaves’.
She made the tutorial because she didn’t find any – I find that great!
Ehm, I did find another tutorial (just in case) ;-)
If the leaves are called ‘Russian St. Petersburg leaves’ then I think that they are supposed to be made for the St.Petersburg necklace – that stands to reason, doesn’t it? In any case they would match wonderfully.

Cold Porcelaine II
I presented an air-drying clay that was called cold porcelaine before, here is another, similar cold porcelaine recipe.
I have absolutely to try it!

Lakota Chain Necklace
I find the Lakota Chain necklace really cute, but I didn’t find the time yet to try it out.
Well, one day ;-)
Braided Bead Rainbow
A long time ago I’ve found the instruction for the braided bead rainbow but when I wanted to present it here at some time the website didn’t exist any more.
So you can imagine how glad I was when I found it back accidentally! :))
So now also for you to make it ;-))

Dutch Spiral Necklace
I don’t like the necklaces in Dutch Spiral technique soo much, but I tried it out to see how it is.
In principle it’s nothing else than tubular peyote (instructions see below) where you work a bead loop in one place.
Because I didn’t like the very broad loop part with 18 beads in the instruction I only used 6 beads per loop.
Well, I like it and I was especially amazed again about how I get lost in the always similar moves and how much this relaxes me.
Perhaps I will make another looong necklace, just to relax ;-))

Beaded Stamp Pins
There are soo beautiful stamps, why not make a little piece of jewelry from them?
One way is the already presented lamination, another the beading of stamps.
And with a little more thought I will get other ideas as well ;-))
