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!

Frozen Lavender Necklace
As always after finishing complex long term project of my own design my mood swings from "WOW, I have made it!" to "I'll never make it any more, only following the ready patterns next time" :-) There's no need to say that the first idea prevails with passing time and the doubts, remaking and disappointments of the latter are fading out during few days and that's why I'll know when I am ready to start something new. I'd say the common pattern of our life can be described in the same way if the post wasn't related to my beading, doesn't it? :-)
I wish I could repeat here the same words from the Frozen Lavender earrings post. I mean "If all the details are ready, the only thing to do is to assemble them together" and generally it would be almost true because the final result of any project is the elements composed together but in this case this process took ten days and it was much longer than making the navette components.
And only now almost all the components are ready to be assembled. And it takes the most of time. To sew the bigger navettes to the ropes at first I beaded a short (about two cm) pieces of flat herringbone ropes to the ends of the peyote ropes and then sewed the rivolis to them. Then joined the ropes and sewed the smaller navettes.
After both peyote and herringbone ropes were joined, it turned out I had to make cones on my own because nothing matched well to cover the ends of the ropes. I beaded two cones by this pattern which I already used for these earrings but with more widening and without petals.
Although it is said modesty embellishes the person it is not my featured trait because I am quite proud of myself and like my work very much:-)
