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!

Non-stop Blossoming Pendant
The end of the term is not the right time for doing hobbies too much. But if to make only the compulsory things first and postpone the ones we enjoy being engaged in, the life becomes as grey as the winter days in my location and then the very sense of life is getting pretty pale. And it out of my rules to let this grey depression increase more. The common order of my life is at least sometimes to follow the call of my soul and the duties will be performed anyway on the simple reason that I'm a responsible person when it goes about the job. And this post is devoted to the material result of such beliefs - the most labour-consuming bead work I've ever done. And what else could it be but the red flower? :-)
Everybody can call the flower on own name either a chrysanthemum or, if to have on mind the season, poinsettia or whatever else, however, the original pattern is called "Хризантема" (chrysanthemum) and you can find it here. It is a part of a big set designed by Natalia Kusma. To get the pattern the registration is requested but you get 7 very detailed video tutorials which can be used to study different techniques. As soon as I saw the flower, I wanted to make it but only started the work when sewed the tweed suit. It is very grey so needs some bright accessory :-)
Кожний може називати квітку на власний розсуд, хризантемою, або, зважаючи на пору року, пуансетією, проте, оригінальна модель називається "Хризантема" і її можна знайти тут. Це частина великого набору прикрас вигаданого Наталею Кузьмою. Щоб отримати МК, потрібна реєстрація, але ти отримуєш 7 дуже докладних відео уроків, які дають можливість вивчити і багато інших прийомів і технік. Щойно я побачила квітку, захотіла її зробити, але роботу розпочала лише по пошиттю твідового костюму. Він таки дуже сірий і потребує яскравого доповнення:-)
The beading of the second and the third rows made the flower pretty heavy so the ready item had to become a pendant.
Before making a stripe to hang the pendant I had to cover the back side of the flower. And now the button's stem had to be removed. (I didn't do it initially as the flower was supposed to become a brooch so I had the intention to use it for the clasp's fixing.) After that I glued the padding material and sewed the small piece of leather to the back of the bezel.
And now - the stripe. It is made by the size of the rope it will be hung on. But as the flower is heavy, it leaned ahead anyway, so I sewed it to the central petal. For the rope, I used a faux leather stripe because the flower is very decorative itself, and I want it to be worn every day.
That's all. The necklace is ready. The most annoying part while making it was the working thread catching every loop of the flower's petals. But now I've already forgotten about that.
Ось і все. Намисто готове. Під час роботи найбільш за все дратувало чіпляння робочої нитки за кожну петлю квітки і я клялася, що більше ніколи такого не робитиму, але зараз я про це вже забула.
