Preciosa, my precious

Yesterday a note from the post office came though my mailbox, I knew it was one of two things, a stone to open my throatchakra OR the samples from Preciosa Ornela that I will be working with and try out. I was under the weather so I thought that it could wait till today and so it did.
It was a box, so way to big to be the stone so it had to be the samples. I ran from the store to my sister who lives the closest and opened it up... And all the goodies came out, one by one...

You see, goodies to play and find out how to work them. It is a 5 mm long bead with 2 holes. Fantastic colors and I cannot wait to try them out!
I was ment to make stitch sample cards for my class today but there is always until classes start tomorrow :D

RAW on pause and another project is being born

I asked myself if it was possible to change the color on the rosecab since a person only need so many black and white rosecabs so I gave it a shot. With only pencils and diamond glaze it looked like watercolors, so I got a bit creative and used tempera mixed with the diamond glaze and this is the results, the lighter is only tempera and diamond glaze and the darker ones is painted with pencils first.

And here is a new project, you will be able to follow it to the Etsy shop and see me make changes, both good and bad once. It is barely visable but on the felt I have drawn paisleypatterns. Thoose are one of the changes I will make, or in this case totally ignore.
You will get an update as soon as I made the pendant as I want it :)

Things I should have been able to figure out myself

Ok, this is why I hate my brain. If I did not struggle to keep RAW out of my head as much as possible I would have figured out this idea myself a long time ago, not getting it from the fabulous magazine Bead n´Button. The idea is so simple, but who came up with RAW with size 15/0 beads?

So this is this necklaces journey, if it survives another cat attack...

And the cab... I will sacrifice one to find out if I can dye them, I do not need this many black and whites. I will keep you posted :)

I won!

 The center is the Cresent moon with a protecting pentagram, above the woods flourish in the soil, beneath the fires are burning. The air swirls to the right and the water makes thier waves on the left.
In this you got all you need for life to exist.


This won me the first prize at Sirlig.se and woke me up instantly :)

This is how it turned out

If anything have had a chance to go wrong with this cuff it has... I dont think I was supposed to bead at this level yet... But now it is here

My current work

As you can see it has no edging and that is what I am working on. After that I will take a better pic and put it up on Etsy :)

Getting the shape

I have finally worked up the courage to make a bead embroidered necklace and the first thing is to come up with a shape. And here it is. It is huge, I know but if your gonna do it do it properly :)
