My other Hobby!

Post by LastingAllure »

This is another thing I have been doing since I was young. My nan bought me my first seed bead kit and ever since then I have been collection and working on my own techniques for jewellery and other accessories (I also make seed bead flowers using a French technique! I will post pictures sometime I make another one since the others I have given away. But here is a new design I have made for earrings:

Well thank you! And they aren't garnet coloured it is more of a amethyst! I plan on making some blue and pink ones as well and hopefully some red ones if I can find my red tear drop beads!

And yes I do sell them online and locally but I don't think I am allowed to post the site on here! lol.

They are so pretty and I love the red ones very much. Shame I don't wear ear rings any more.

Well thank you! :)

And really it isn't that hard to do...just need patients and supplies really lol. I am sure if you sat down with the right tools and a good diagram of how to do it (And study it and plan it out in your head) you could make jewellery too! I am fully self taught when it comes to jewellery and I have fun trying to figure things out! :P It is like doing a puzzle lol.

Those are beautiful, you're very talented! I had a go at jewellery making myself for a while, just bracelets and necklaces though. Unfortunately there aren't enough hours in the day for me to keep up with everything I like doing. I'd love to see more pictures of your designs.
