Been working on several knits…..
Love the shape of this one. It’s got a lot of beading but it’s hard to see so here’s a close up:
Then something similar in pattern but without the “fins” shaping:
And one with no beads:
Shawls and Scarves
Another Knitted Scarf
Another scarf – Early Morning Rain by Mindy Ross. I love this one. Keeping it for myself. It’s all mine.
Another Giggle With A Jiggle Shawl
This is the third Giggle With A Jiggle shawl by Mindy Ross I’ve knitted. A really fun pattern to knit.
Soy Candles
Soy candles are so expensive, I made my own.
Of course I had to add a bead to the top of the containers. Was kind of a challenge punching a hole into the tin. Next time I’m going to use glass jars as the lids are easy to work with.
Christmas Tree In April
I had to make an ornament so I did this sterling silver tree with beaded wire, soldered onto copper.
Box Bead Necklace and Other Things
Finally got around to making a silver box bead necklace. Had to add some glass beads too.
Also finished another message locket pendant.
I used a glass bullet cab on the top and domed the bottom.
I wanted to practice what I learned in Joanna Gollberg’s glass so I did a prong setting for the lavender CZ. The cabochon is glass with enamels and frit on it.
Beaded Ornaments
This is a pattern by Heather Collin. These are kind of fun and can be used as ornaments or pendants or just hanging decorations. Just finished these three. Need to get more beads to make more.
Gray and Pink Reverse Psychology Scarf
This is the second Reverse Psychology (by Mindy Ross) scarf I’ve made. I think I’m going to keep this one for myself. I love gray and pink. Used pink triangle beads in the scarf.
It’s Been A While
Gosh, I haven’t added anything for a while. I haven’t been out making beads for a couple of months due to hurting my back. Still been making things, just not beads.
Beaded a bunch of eggs and made them into pendants. These were have a wooden egg shaped core.
Made a crochet barrel bag to hold my knitting projects. This bag too FOREVER to make. I wanted the bag to be sturdy and crochet tightly. Made with Shibui Twig yarn.
Knitted some dish cloths for Christmas presents. These are made out of 100% cotton yarn.
Made a few leather, string and beaded bracelets. Uses some deer antler buttons for the clasps.
Took Fred Zweig’s class on forged collars. Was able to make a couple collars and a bail. Really fun class. Fred has so much knowledge and is willing to share everything he knows.
