#suedine

Another pendant done. It took me a while because I undid/redid some stuff at least twice. The cabochon is one of my fimo ones, as well as the half-flower at the top left. Otherwise it's all seed beads, red-colored glass chips, pressed glass beads and cristals. Felt and faux suede for the backing. I still have to stitch in bails and stuff. … it's so red and purplish. I love it. It's prettier in person, but it's really hard to get reds right on my camera (at least it's not as bad as when I take pictures with my phone).

I finished this pendant today, with one of the early face cabochons I made in fimo. The big flower and the smaller one next to it are from a french artist who makes the most beautiful cold porcelain creations. I just gave them a coat of Mister Super Clear to strengthen the finish, and I drilled more holes at the bottom of the big one to make it easier to attach it and the beads inside. It's not difficult since cold porcelain is a home-made type of polymer clay itself. The rest is all glass seed beads and pressed glass flower and drop beads (etc) as usual. The seed bead sizes for this one go from the smallest 15° to size 6°. I've made way more fimo faces since then that I intend to use sooner or later. Might also try to bead a pendant around one of the cat heads… Now I still need to make a chain for this.

My latest beading project, which I forgot to take picts of until pretty late in. I had already like 70% of it done when I remembered to take pictures. It's finished now, but those picts are from before that. It's bigger than my previous ones, I need to restrain myself a bit ^^; The shop where I bought the ceramic faces is opened again, but I still have plenty of those to bead yet. I got a bunch on discount over 10 years ago ^^; Anyway, it's all glass beads except the purple big one, which is frosted acrylic. I finished the border and I made a necklace for it, but I still need to take pictures of that.

I made 2 chains for this pendant. i changed the original bail, this works better

I finished this one a while ago, I changed the bail for an inobtrusive one at the back. It’s basically me saying “what if I used ALL THE DROPS ??” and just went for it. It’s an agate cabochon and a bunch of pressed glass flowers, drops, faceted and non faceted and 2-3 types of seed beads (the marbled ones are really pretty…). The border is a bit uneven but I guess it fits with the freeform idea… I could have taken less pictures but I’m just indulging myself here :b

It’s funny how I started this one with the first design, which I actually did draw in advance, but of course, I couldn’t follow up. I did bead it halfway through, but there was something bothering me about it, so I undid everything and ended up with something completely different.
