blooming flowers - orchids & Christmas cactus

This spring I have three plants bloom at the same time. Two of them are orchids, Phalaenopsis. 

And Schlumbergera, known as Christmas cactus. 

Here are my other sweet rosebuds, especially black one:

floral - beading peyote bracelet pattern

Today's a finished bracelet. It's only 0.75" (1.8 cm) in width, an easy and quick to bead. I had really fun with beading it.

Only 3 colors and it possible to change it as you wish. Just use the seed beads you already have.

 

I really like to make a beaded toggle clasp, it's so easy to make and it fits the bracelet anyway.

Bargello Mesmerize - peyote stitch pattern

Look at these colors! The pictures don't satisfy the beauty of this design. Used matte pink and shiny gold, motley beige and turquoise Picasso beads, chocolate brown and milk-white. 

This bracelet beaded in 3 drop even-count peyote stitch technique. I like this technique because it's the easier and quicker version. 

The closure is simple, just a beaded toggle and a loop. The pattern is available in my Etsy shop: Bargello Mesmerize - peyote stitch bracelet pattern.

beautiful bookmarks with beaded bead

 

Today I have a special post about bookmarks. As social media is growing, and everyone has a Kindle, so we read less paper books. But sometimes is great to take an old favorite book and read it again. 

Touch the paper sheets and feel the smell. Find favorite sentences and quotes, and mark these places with beautiful bookmarks.  

This time I get a custom order for the bookmarks with a beaded bead. As I like reading and beading, I made them more :) 

Beaded beads made of czech glass pearls and seed beads. The length of the bookmark is 4.5" (11.5 cm) 

How to use: simply slide the metal part of the bookmark inside the book and let the beads dangle outside. For example pretty one on a bookshelf:
