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!

Chrysanthemum Brooch
The project was enjoyable both with the result and process because started from the simple idea to use Preciosa Solo, or Super Uno beads as for the centre of the ring as I saw in this tutorial. But surprisingly it was finished with creating of my own brooch and ring, that needed no Solo at all :-)
The ring in the mentioned tutorial has petals from beads. I had nothing in common in my stash so just decided to bead the petals from different seed beads. One more pleasant surprise with the project - I used only stashed materials and bought nothing new for it (it is a wow moment indeed:-))
Каблучка у вище згаданому МК має пелюстки з намистин. У мене нічого схожого не було, тому я вирішила просто сплести пелюстки з бісеру. Ще один приємний сюрприз проекту - використала лише матеріали з запасів і нічого не докупала (це вже і справді сюрприз:-))
After the first row of the petals was ready, finished them with 3 mm round crystals.
On this stage the flower was not very thick so I added one more row of the same petals but beaded them under the first row. On the photo all the row is from triangle seed beads but when it was ready, I changed my mind and re-made from the 8/0 and two green cut beads. Green - because it occurred to me it could be in use if I suddenly wanted to add some leaves to the flower later.
Next is inside row of the petals. It is started with triangle seed beads and continued with 8/0. It is beaded shorter and finished with arches form one 15/0 seed bead, one 10/0 seed bead and one 15/0.
The last stage of the brooch beading - fill in the centre with solo (super uno). The way is free. I added both by one/two solos and with 10/0 seed beads underneath.
To have the brooch ready glued the piece of thick fabric to the brooch base and then the pin.
The ring and the brooch created a nice, delicate (the brooch is only about 5 cm in diameter) and pretty universal set that matches a lot of outfits. The items can be worn separately as well and I think both of them will look good with these earrings.
