Embroidered bracelet Indian Sun

And one more trial of making jewelry not related to polymer clay!!!

Embroidered bracelet approximately 7" long, 2 1/4" wide.

All three cabochons are also handmade from resin colored with Inca gold paints.

Yeah and the name is INDIAN SUN. 

I was inspired with the well known bead embroidery artist Sherry Serafini and her book "Sensational bead embroidery". I must say that every work in her book is just a masterpiece!

Bead purse

Another long project is finish.

I would not say it's finished successfully, because still there are quite some drawbacks which I'll take into account next time I make such item.

The purse is circularly crocheted with beads. The design of the sides I made myself (the charts are on my previous posts about this bead purse).

Sizes: 13 cm diameter.

One of the drawback, except for the Indian beads which are not properly calibrated, is that I made too many even rows at the end (without increase). Due to it the edgings started rolling inside dramatically. I thought that it will be solved once I stitch two halves together, but it didn't. Moreover, it leads to deformation of the round shape at the open top of the purse. So I needed to insert some hard wires for keeping the shape. And due to this drawback the purse looks bulky.

Never the less it comes out nice provided that it was my first trial in crochet with beads. I become very fond of the technics so definitely try more.

Beaded purse - to be continued

After a long period of time I finished the second part of my future beaded purse. I changed the pattern as long as I am not very keen on repeating the same things.

Beaded purse - Inception

So after long long trials here is the first valued result. One piece of my future beaded bag.

There is no bad experience

I think it's better to start with describing all the experience with beading the purse, may be it'll be of any use for somebody. I had had a great number of trials before I could finally made something proper. Many times I was dissatisfied with the result and willingly unwinding my work starting it again and again, trying it in different ways.
