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!

Peacock's Feather (Earrings)
The necklace from my previous project yelled for a pair of earrings. And I had a firm intention to make them at once. I tried few techniques and a couple of designs but none of them encouraged further actions. But when finishing a new dress today at about 2.30 a.m., it suddenly occurred to me that I still had no earrings to make a set with the necklace and if I didn't make them at the moment I wouldn't make them ever and then remorse for the wasted materials (implying money) would corrupt my brain. The idea appeared in no time:-) It was simple and obvious. I thought if the main motif of the necklace is a cabochon inserted into the open diamond, then the earrings should be some open shape as well.
So the first step is sketching. As I have some experience with open shapes, made a square and a diamond, I wanted to try something else. I chose the one reminding a drop because wanted to add a dangle detail with a teardrop crystal.
To bead the open shape I found the scheme on Pinterest and just follow it. The number of the necessary seed beads to start I counted by my drawing.
