Jewelry


Princess Necklace

I found the design, which is a variation of the netted triangle  Necklaces
This  22" necklace consists of 6.5 inches of lace loop work on either side  with 5 central chandelier  figures. I used size 11 blue seed beads and #2 size dark blue bugle beads and Nymo thread.

Jewelry

For this jewelry set, I used Swarovski Crystals™. I used two threaded needles, wire, and silver clasps to make the bracelet and just strung beads on for the necklace and earrings.

Bracelets




The bracelet on the left was made by TOHO beads using the peyote stitch. The clasps are the regular loop and ball.


This bracelet actually looks a lot easier than it was. It was also made using the peyote stitch and also consists of TOHO beads.






This blue-and-black bracelet was really fairly easy. You need to thread two needles and string each with a black bead. Then thread both with a bigger blue bead and keep continuing the pattern. End the bracelet with metal clasps.

Beaded Ganesha

For this beaded Ganesha, I've used size 6 beads, and it was made off-loom.

Peacock Pattern

This peacock pattern was made with size 11 TOHO beads, and used the peyote stitch. It can be used as a wall-hanging or as a keychain.

Kathakali Mask Bead pattern

This Kathakali Mask Pattern was inspired by the Kathakali Indian dance, which originated in the state of Kerala (India) in the 17th century. This is a picture of the religious masks they wore during their dancing performances.

Off-Loom Patterns

Both patterns are off-loom and were both made with TOHO beads.  I gifted these pieces to  my family friend. The one with the love bird made by my 9 year old daughter and  designed by her.

Elephant pattern


This elephant pattern was made off-loom and is a keychain. 

Bracelets

This is my very first daisy chain bracelet.

This is the first bracelet I made with increasing and decreasing beads.

A bugle bead bracelet with a flower bead clasp.
An off-loom bracelet with a pearl bead clasp.

Hanuman face pattern

This pattern was originally supposed to be a Kathakali mask, but instead, after I tried it out on the off-loom stitch, it turned out to be like the face of Hanuman, the god of strength and war.

Koala & Gecko Bracelets



Both of these patterns were made by two threaded needles. I got the patterns from an animals book for Pony bead patterns. Then, I just strung on more beads and turned them into bracelets. 

Om and India Flag

The Om and Indian flag are both keychains that use the same colors and were both off-loom. 

Earrings

The earrings on the left were all closed and completed using pliers to close the loops. You can get the earring hooks at any craft store.

Ganesha Bracelets

This bracelet was the first off-loom bracelet I made. The clasps are the basic loop-and-ball.
