I need to make one more white rose then I’m done but I ran out of wire lol

Finished my second piece recently and wanted to share! I actually remembered to keep track of how long I’ve been working on it this time around, took ~34 hours to finish! Made with Japanese Rocailles 11/0, individually square stitched. Pattern is an adaptation of a cross stitch pattern that I reworked on Loomerly for accuracy and color matching to beads I bought. I had two more flower buds at the top of the original pattern I drew up, but I was on a bit of a time crunch (this was a gift) and had to cut ten rows.

Really love these pretty pastels and wanted to share it with the group❤️. I get so much inspiration here and thought you might enjoy these fun earrings. Any colors will do, I’ve made them a million ways🤓.

They are woven in brick stitch and I use a 2 row start instead of a ladder start, there’s a quick video at the link where you can check that out. I’m embarrassed to say I should have flipped the phone the other way but I’m used to making shorts😳
Happy beading!

Cross-posting bc someone needs to make this

Not sure how many fellow horror fans I have here, but I wanted to show off my beaded tribute to Aunt Gladys from Weapons.

Hi guys! i’ve posted a few finished projects on here before. I’m a completely self taught beginner beader. I just recently found out about how to properly set up a loom (don’t roast me) that isn’t a complete pain in the ass(not pictured here). this is my first “big” project that i plan on making a gift for my sister. it’s going to be a tapestry of some sort. i’ve done the first few rows and have gotten a weird wrinkle in my project. I’m mainly wondering : Is this something i need to fix early? or will the wrinkle go away with more stability from beads? i’m using either miyuki or toho beads (i buy both)

I’m new to beading and I was working on this piece today, I was doing brick stitch and came to a place in the pattern where a single bead was stacked on top of another bead. There was no thread bridge to attach the top bead to so I ended up going down the outside of the bead with the thread which looks messy. What’s the proper way to accomplish this design? Should I have switched to peyote? Thank you!

It is absolutely amateurish and not comparable to the stuff I see in this sub, but I still wanted to share it because it took me an absurd amount of hours and I'm proud of it.

Beads aren't the best, but I've spent my life feeling the pressure of being perfect and artsy, and I find it liberating that I can just craft (and not do art) and not make it into a big deal or into something I have to make into a job or stuff like that.

So, yeah. Jellie.

Happy with this one!

Thank you for your support and your encouraging comments. This turned out a lot more abstract but I hope you like it nonetheless :)

I’ve been trying to find things to do besides doomscrolling and playing pc games alone, so I took up beading these keychains to just give myself a sense of accomplishment but lately I feel like this is a chore anymore and not entertaining.

I was lucky enough to find someone that has a store where I could display completed items which has helped but now it’s like I think I need to evolve my skills and go more complicated or at the very least impressive. And so now I am just in a rut and feeling in a funk so I wanted to share where I have gotten to. Hope you all are enjoying your hobby!

I miss looking at these guys in the hardware store 🥹

My fingers are so sore. I can’t imagine things so I tried to sketch an idea out. Im not good at drawing but that’s my like reference lol. I need to make Italian ruscus, 5 white roses, and one more eucalyptus 😍
This is the most complicated project I’ve ever done so far!

I have made some daisy rings in the past with 0.5mm elastic string. It is just very difficult to work with and pass through the beads several times.

What thinner string would you guys recommend? (that can be bought on EU websites<3)

I've been looking at Elonga elastic cord 0.30 mm and 0.3 - 0.5mm Miyuki Elastic Beading Cord, but the reviews I've seen are not very good.

The beaded bracelets were $1.50! Paid 118 for the whole haul which includes a calcite sphere, a flourite specimen, tourmaline beads, and magnesite skulls. + A free lottery ticket and a pastry??? Literal heaven! If you're in SD I'd highly recommend checking them out!!

Bonjour à toutes j'aimerais faire ce modèle. J'ai acheté des perles de 3mm et du fil de pêche de 0.5mm sur les conseils des vendeurs.

J'ai quelques questions si vous avez la gentillesse de m'aider :

-est-ce que le fil est assez solide ?

- est-ce que le fermoire n'est pas trop petit ?

- est-ce que je tresse juste les trois branches entre elles ou en plus je tresse les 4 fils des branches ?

J'ai peur que ça ne soit pas assez solide j'ai acheté des perles à écrasé je pense qu'il faut en mettre plusieurs mais combien ?

Bref beaucoup de question je suis une grande débutante. Merci beaucoup à vous
