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!

Melting Heart Earrings & Pendant
I have enough red earrings. Although I try to make some new jewellery to embellish almost every of my outfits, some of the items match several outfits. But I like the cases when I can experiment. This time I bezeled a heart-shaped rivoli. The work was started from the Internet videos watching and sites reading but, as it happens pretty often, I had to track my own way :-)
Then the work goes by the usual steps. Cut out the rivoli, glue them on the pieces of leather and cut out again when it is dry.
The next step is to process the edge of the rivoli (nothing new is here, either). I did it with the usual plain blanket stitch but with adding two seed beads every time when the needle goes through the leather on the wrong side. The first rivoli was finished with grey seed beads but when it was ready, I understood I wanted a mono-coloured small shape so it was remade.
