New tutorial for Twin Beads earrings

Yesterday I received a request for a tutorial to make this can tab earrings, which features Preciosa Ornela Twin beads.


I love these earrings. They have a different shape and make me think I should experiment more with these amazing beads.
The tutorial is ready and you can find it here. Hope to receive good feedback!

Kriszten bracelet

Even in the middle of a neon-colors-frenzy I can never forget my first love: red.
A beautiful bracelet designed by Eva Kovacs, who as usual shares amazing free pattern on her website



Takes less than an hour to make it and just the right amount of super duo beads - don't you just hate it when your beads are finished and your project isn't?!! 
This is not the case: I used less than 10gr of super duo.


And I just LOVE the picasso finish. 
I am going to try some other pattern really soon.

Spikes fever

Some days ago I received another gift from Preciosa Ornela: some amazing amber color Twin beads.
I decided to buy some spikes in the same color and make something beautiful...



The pattern is from Perl'agogo and the original, without spikes, is called Victoria.



I'm making more, different spike bracelets in more vivid colors and hope to finish them before I leave for Easter vacation.

More beaded beads

To be fair, I also made beaded beads with super duos.



The bigger bead is from Pinterest, and I can't find who to give credit for it



I just saw it and it was pretty easy to understand it. So I made it. Another necklace, once I find a pattern for a medium size bead.

Twin Tab earrings

As promised, here are my new can tab earrings made with Preciosa Twin Beads:



I call them Twin Tab, to make it shorter.



I'll try them with Super Duo beads to make some Super tab earrings...I think the different shape might be more suitable to this kind of construction.

Peacock earrings with twin beads

Yesterday I made these amazing earrings with the new Twin Beads that Preciosa Ornela sent me:



The tutorial is from Cr3azioni di Cr3stina and is really easy and quick.
Now I need to go on with my Japan piece and also need to restock my can tab earrings, since tonight I sold the white ones to a return customer.
And maybe I'll finally get to make some photos in the sunlight!

The Butterfly effect

Yesterday I was (impatiently) waiting for a bead delivery, which included some Super Duos.
I was curious to try them and test the differences with the Twin Beads.
I was trying to keep calm, tracking my pack on internet, when I saw a new pattern from Good Quill Hunting on facebook. Using Super Duos. I couldn't help myself.
Here they are, the Butterfly effect earrings:



They are super quick to make and the result is gorgeous. And you don't need tons of different colors or sizes of different kind of beads. Just three.



I love Christina's work and will probably buy a couple more patterns soon, as I saw some other interesting earrings...but she comes out with new stuff so often, I'm sure I'll find many more!
