Be Mine!

I'm starting to see little hearts floating around me.

Everywhere.
Valentine's day is approaching fast....so I followed those hearts and lead them to my shop.
One lied down on this bracelet

another one was closed into a beaded box

There's one dark, seductive heart

and another one bold and red

Just follow your heart.

February 2012 EBW challenge

This month's EBW challenge is really lovely.
Nesting is what's on my mind almost every day since my tiny house is pretty small and messy, and I'm trying very hard to make it as comfortable and tidy as possible.
So my entry for this challenge came out naturally



I had a lot of fun making the nest, it's a plastic ring covered in RAW technique and then I made a circular peyote back for it.

I would have loved to put inside some 3D hearts, but even using the size 15 miyukis it was impossible to fit in 2 of them.

Please visit our team blog, http://www.etsy-beadweavers.blogspot.com between the 9th and 15th of February and vote for your favorite entry!

Custom order

I received a custom order just before Christmas.
Due to my job schedule and my trip home for the holidays, I had to start it very late and I'm still struggling to finish it in a couple of days.



It's a necklace with two beaded dolls (like this one) of Little Lulu and Toby and 2 beaded heart earrings.

I love the crocheted rope. I just hate the stringing part...
I had to re-start it from scratch 3 times because something in the pattern I had made wasn't ok; then I realized I needed an "upside down" pattern to have hearts in both the directions (which you can't see in the pic).
Now I just need to go on for 10 cm and then I'll have fun with the little dolls.
