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!

Farfalle Bracelet, or November Heart
Probably about a week ago, the first snow covered all around here... The way it changed the world for a few hours astonished and gave the feeling of some pure childish joy which can only be compared with the gladness from reading a fairy-tale with a happy ending... And I like to realise that such things still amaze me. The advantage of being a needleworker lets me come back to such moments and revive them in my creations.
Мабуть десь із тиждень тому все навколо покрив тут перший сніг... Те, як він на декілька годин змінив світ, не могло не зачудувати і дало почуття якоїсь чистої дитячої радості, яку можна порівняти лише із задоволенням від читання казки зі щасливим кінцем… І мені дуже подобається, що такі речі все ще мене вражають. Перевага рукотворниці в тому, що можна повертатися до таких моментів і оживляти їх у своїй творчості.
So the inspiration brought me to the pattern Heart-to-Heart Bracelet by Janet Palumbo from Beadwork 8/9 2013. I followed the instructions but made a few changes. The first one - made a loop of seven 10.0 seed beads around the drop that I added instead of a 3mm bead in the pointed spot.
The second change concerns the clasp. After making the toggle loop, the bracelet seemed to be incomplete as if I had not enough materials to finish it. So I added 10.0 seed beads between farfalles wherever it was possible. In this way, the work looks neater. I also changed the clasp - made a toggle bar from 10.0.
The bracelet turned out to be quite refined... almost like that beautiful snowy morning...
