I made this bracelet last year for a friend.
I followed instructions for Alysse Adularia's Mossy Ruffle Bracelet in Best of Beadwork, flat&tubular herringbone stitch projects, which I adapted so I could bead as I go, instead of making each ruffle bead separately then join them later.
I chose a purple color scheme to suit my friend's taste :D
It's less fiddly to make than it looks, but you need a bit of patience. Especially since I modified the pattern a bit, so I had to wing it a bit when I was working out how to make it in one go.
I don't like making separate small elements, which the original pattern asked for. Especially for bracelets, if I can find a way to do it in one go, I will, lol.
But it does requite a little thinking about how everything will link together. I tend to wing it and see what works or not. I'm not a very organised beader, or a mathematical one at all.
I'm also not super great at following patterns half the time, I guess ^^; But I think it turned out pretty okay anyway :D
I wanted to try a slightly different approach with less beading, so I stuck buggle beads to the sides on a new batch of paintings. The acrylic paint cracked on the white gouache background, it's a cool effect.
The links feel a bit flimsy to me, but it does look nice xD I suppose I can always tighten the links together if I want. My main worry is that the side of the bubble beads are going to cut into the thread over time (or even rapidly). Glass buggle beads endings are pretty sharp usually, way more than regular seed beads. But anyway, a cool second experiment. ^_^
It turns out I can stick beads to the little paintings with UV resin and make them into elements. Let's make one or more experimental bracelets. xD
Heh, I kinda fumbled those top beads on the peyote rectangles, I should have used same size beads, but it's fine.
It kinda works. I'm a bit worried the UV resin wouldn't be strong enough for extensive manipulation tho. But it was a cool experiment. :D I made another bracelet with a double set of paintings I made after the lest one, and I'm not making an embroidered cuff bracelet with one of the early sets, just to see how all this works.
Engaging in an entirely new type of obsession xD
Little paintings on air-dry clay rectangles (about 3,5 cm x 1,5 cm, around 2 mm thick)
Then I coat them in UV resin. (the back is painted too and varnished).
They make a nice clikityclac sound when you manipulate them :b Anyway, I thought I could use those as cabochons in my bead embroidery, but I've been experimenting with other uses. Making them is kinda addictive, even if the process is a bit time consuming before I can start painting. Rolling the clay, cutting it to shape (I have a form-cutter), waiting for them to dry (making sure they dry flat, I have to turn them and flatten them regularly. it takes 2 days more on less, depending on the temp), sanding the edges, and then they're ready. I decided to make little series of four, so I paint 4 in the same background color, and then I paint with acrylic brushes. It's a satisfying blend of crafting and drawing for me. xD they're a bit wonky, especially the first ones I made, but I love them, even the ones that aren't very successful.

Making of a gold-plated cylinder beads, glass drops, small carnelians and seed beads bracelet for my mom's birthday (she likes gold and green).
I based it on Maggie Meister's Il Giardino bracelet.
I started with the cylinder base (tubular peyote).
Then I started adding the embellishments following instructions from the model, but it didn't work out well for me.
I didn't place it in a way I liked, so I decided to undo that and do it in a way that was more practical for me. Basically, I added the "branches" seed beads first and then the drop beads and carnelians after that.
It was going well, I finished it, but my harshest critic (my sister, lol) decided that there weren't enough beads.
So after being grumpy about it for 24 hours, I added more branches, and she was right, it looked much better, dammit :b Siblings.
And now it was done, and my mom loved it, but it was too tight, even tho I followed the dimension she gave me when I asked her what length for a bracelet.
Apparently I was supposed to infer that it would need to be longer. Parents. (-_-)
Anyway. I added another clasp ring, that should do it, lol.
… This was in my drafts and I don't remember if I posted it and I'm too lazy to check in my archive so here. Something from about february this year I guess xD The cat heads experiment. Old cat heads in fimo (and a coat of UV resin) on the right. Newer cat heads from sculpting the previous cat-heads into something else.
IT'S GLASS.
This is "Arras", by Mark Lewanski, and the medium is G L A S S.
Just incredible.
Process pics: - the main medallion (air dry clay, markers, matte varnish). - glued on felt. - beading beading beading all around, glue on backing, cut backing. - stitching the edge. - adding more stuff to the edge, and more beads around the round green beads. -… it's too plain ! needs flowers !! - make flower, crystals and drops beadsoup and stick some of this on it. -… needs one more tulip there. wow, i think I'm done. - okay, time to make the bail (and the chain, pictures in the other post about this necklace). Done.
My latest :D I made the cabochon myself with air dry clay and molds, markers for the coloring and matte varnish.

I had a varnish accident and had to wipe that and half-recolor all of the skulls, but it's fine. :b No sure how long it will take me to bead all that.
I was beading rather randomly on the first one. :b "There are gaps, whatever, I'll fill them later."
I figure I'll just do a first layer on each and then do a finishing pass on all of them after.
Skulls.
I kinda messed up and didn't make 4 types x 5 as I thought. I have no idea how. Brain.

What can you do when you have fimo head cabochons you made but do not like ? (a very common problem to have, I know) You take out your exacto knife and carve some cats (? allegedly ?) and fox heads in them I guess 🤷♀️
The one at the top is the first one I made when I started doing this. I've kept only a few of the beaded cabochons I did after that, I mostly undid them or redid them. All the stuff I made, didn't like and undid, likely to be revisited later. Hopefully.
then I started making clay cat heads (fimo, air dry clay) and I tried to bead them too xD
I had the idea for the Great Eye a while ago but I wasn't sure how to implement it.
I want to do a Horizon beading thing at some point, also not sure how to implement it.

A rainbow of beaded faces and, uh, skulls I guess :b
I got the ceramic face cabochons over 10 years ago from a US seller who doesn't ship to my country anymore T.T I still have a few left but I started making my own in fimo, then airdry clay recently. There's this lady who makes really cool flowers in cold porcelain, I got some too. I use run of the mill silicone molds for the skulls tho. And then I color everything with markers and various stuff, then I coat them in UV resin or just varnish, recently.
Stress is making me churn these out like crazy -_- This is not a beading blog, but it sure is turning into one xD A few process pics
The cabochon is one of my fimo faces, coated in UV resin. The rest is glass beads (pressed glass, seed beads) stiff felt backing and yellow microfiber backing.
