This pattern was named Kepler's Star by Gwen Fisher. I have been playing with similar patterns, although not on this scale. So this was still a challenge. Mostly it challenged my patience.

This bracelet took me more than 7 hours to finish. It also used up 10 grams of 11/0 and 10 grams of 8/0 seed beads, which was pretty shocking. I thought 5 grams of each would be more than enough, because it was so... full of holes. Well, it wasn't. It ate beads and thread. (Note to self: next time use cheaper colours if possible.)

I used a daring shade of light Ceylon periwinkle 11/0 seed beads with metallic plum iris 8/0 seed beads and 3 pieces of 6 mm round crystal swarovski beads.

By some twist of fate I had two buttons that looked the same (although I have bought them in different shops), and thus the question of the clasp had been solved.

And today I went to the shop that sold the buttons cheaper and bought buttons (with the same designs as the metallic looking ones I showed in a previous post) in twos and threes. In case I try this pattenr again. But seriously... ouch.

And this one was pure horror to make. 8 hours of work. Requested by my mother. I'm never gonna make another with 5 different colours. It hurts my eyes and my brain.

Got tired of stamping my pictures, if anyone was wondering.

And the newest stuff:

I think I saw this pattern somewhere, but not sure. It just came to mind, and had to try it out.









This triangle pattern is oooold, but black and silver never goes out of style. I also attached a bunch of hanging beads to the bottom when the glue dried up.

...newer stuff that I was too lazy to update before

What the title said.

I actually did some macrame for kicks and took a break from beading. But after a while it just wasn't colorful enough, so I moved on.



So I decided tomake some cubes. Been making them for a while now.




Still making... :P





Then a ball I just made for... kicks.


And a simple ring, because it's cute.

Buttons

Actually, I've bought some buttons a week or two ago and thought they'd look pretty so... here they are.

(Actually, one of them was used for the crystal-raspberry toho cubed bracelet below.)

And these guys I have bought this weekend.

Girly stuff

Well, since my blog has been called "so girly", I decided why not. So here it is. Girly stuff!

It's Spring!

...or supposed to be, so I started making some pretty bracelets in spring colours, or at least spring colours for me.

Here they are:

Catching up

I realize I haven't been adding new stuff, so... here they are.

I just bezeled these babies, although the end tails of the S-Lon still need to be trimmed. Forgive me, the glue is still drying.






Then, there is the green seven sister brooch I made a few days ago.







Also, 3 spinning tops I made for some visiting family members.
