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.

Clematwin

I have been waiting for the right beads to make this pendant for so long. Then another beautiful gift from Preciosa Ornela arrived, and I couldn't wait more

The free tutorial is from Ad Perleade, so generous and, most of all, so absolutely easy to make.
These Twin Beads are beautiful.

They're transparent and dyed in white only in their holes, so they create a striped effect which enhances the pattern of this beautiful flower. I'm going to sew it on a headband.

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.

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!
