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!

Spring & Autumn Necklace
Creativity is a well-known kind of magic and all what you need to be a magician is to have ideas, inspiration and some craft's skills. For example, despite the heat we were fretting about the most of summer here, now when the signs of autumn are becoming visible, I think it would be funny to unite the colours of autumn and spring, the times of blossoming and fading, in one item. In such a way the colour style for this new set of jewelry was chosen. It embodies both gentleness and saturating.
I like beaded beads a lot. Their diversity seems to be unrestricted and varies form very simple and available samples to quite complex and costly. Peyote beads are pretty easy and quick ( after you beaded about 10 of them:-)) to make. You can make them in mono colour or with ornament: your taste and fantasy are the only push. The Internet is full of pictures and tutorials. I guess the important thing for choice in this case - the proportions, I mean, length and the thickness of the bead. For me pretty helpful was the idea from Fashion Magazine 12/2014. So I used their scheme and made 19 full length beads and 4 shorter ones.
And some notions about the bezel for a pendant. Аs I already have some experience in making that, I didn't use any new tutorial but if you need, chose the one to start with right-angle weave chain. Besides, my pendant's bead is big and pretty twisted so it turned out the chain must be measurably longer than the length of the bead's edge. The first picture was made during the first try ( you see the chain is the same length as the bead's edge), it was wrong and had to be remade.
And after all the components are ready - join them in your own way. At first I made the earrings? had few variants but the simplest turned to be the nicest:-)

Мне ( почему-то??) это украшение ассоциируется с Индией... Особенно на фото с цветочками..
ReplyDeleteЦікаво... кожний має свій асоціативний ряд і сприймає образ по-своєму... А мені - Японію, бордо - колір японського клену, а рожевий - цвітіння сакури... Для мене Індія це щось жовте, жовто-гаряче, червоно-коричневе і трохи зелені.
DeleteА у меня ассоциации с индийской свадьбой.., когда на невесту одевают что-то такое коричнево-розовое+ форма палочек корицы...Прочитала, что написала-бред!
ReplyDeleteЧому бред? Це твої думки... спонтанні вислови - найчіснішіж до речі, коли ти сказала про Індію, я те саме подумала, пригадала якесь індійське кіно... Але можна, наприклад, трохи змінити географію - на Гаваях вітають туристів з такими самими гірляндами квітів :-)
