About Me
- Oksana Starzhynska
- My blog's main subjects are sewing, the thing in which I am experienced the most, and beadwork, which is, in fact, pushed me into blogging. I am also engaged in knitting and crocheting. All together they are the set of skills which I use to make my wardrobe my whole life. These are not my only interests, I also like the English language (that's one of the reasons that my blog is bilingual), try to travel around my country and abroad (when can afford it), am interested in art (to the degree of a dilettante but nevertheless) and adore the people who can create anything beautiful or useful whatever it is :-) So welcome to a needlecrafter diary!

Smile for Van Gogh Earrings :-)
My initial materials were dagger beads, leaf beads, seed beads (I guess #8), round beads and earring hooks. "Initial" because I had the main plan to make a flower, and after that, I could decide what to do next.
Daggers and seed beads were connected in a flower by this tutorial .
When I tried on a black bead for the flower centre, it seemed to be pretty gloomy and sunflower is a very cheerful flower so I used a green bead.
To strengthen the flower, as I didn't follow the instruction in the video for back reinforcing, I decided to sew it to the square connector (I forgot to take a picture, but on the rest of them, the base is visible). This gave the necessary stiffness. And now it is an element which can already be a ring, a pendant or an earring.
All the elements I joined with a piece of chain and jump rings.

Гарні соняшники! І зовсім намистинки не схожі на кинджали.., а- на пелюстки...Чи то може все залежить від майстрині?!
ReplyDeleteДякую, мені теж подобаються, ефектні вийшли, хоча трішки важкуваті :-) Це не я придумала "dagger" - так називається цей вид намистин.
