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!

Snowflake for Forest Nymth, or Webinar Experience
The first part of the event was dedicated to the lecture about beading materials, instruments, inspiration, new ideas and so on. All that time I spent for matching the cutbeads. The tutorial required delicas but as I have none, wanted to use cutbeads which I like a lot. The tutorial included the common bead-along of one triangle and an explanation of what to do after making 12 such elements.
The beading is pretty quick but the sewing is very ... let's say troublesome. I yet had to add an extra row in every other element to sew the ready triangles. It decreased the curving of the sides and to some degree let me avoid the ruffling of the ready detail. I also decided at first to sew both of the 6-triangle circles and then join them together.
My snowflake is stuffed with a piece of a nylon rope.
