beadwoven ring with Swarovski rivoli

I have read in different articles that beadwoven rings are very convenient for wearing. This my first ring with rivoli Swarovski. I wish to test it, how much it is strong and wearable. And this ring really is very pleasant, don't want to put it off from a finger. It does not press, flexible, easily to put on and off from finger, almost it is not felt on a hand. I'm happy with this ring.

Used Swarovski rivoli 14 mm, Toho 11/o and 15/o. Size of ring is 15.5 (I hoped get the size 16, but I did a mistake in weave, so I'm wearing it on a little finger now).

cute little earrings

New listings in my Etsy shop - cute elegant earrings with Swarovski crystals and galvanised Toho seed beads. Used silver/gold plated earwires, but also are available sterling silver or gold-filled earwires.

yummy bracelet

It's a carnelian stone with a twisted wire around. Looks like catched caramel. This semiprecious stone have the beautiful shades from light yellow to dark brown. So honey and sweet.

I made this bracelet for a custom order. I can repeat this work, but your bracelet may vary slightly in the shades, because stones can not be identical in nature ever, but still promises to be stunning.

Many thanks to Margit K. :) She has given me a reference to fantastic source: Ravelry.com. It's an ideal place for those who likes to knit or crochet. What there is remarkable? When I something knit, necessarily I do calculations, sketches, I write down the name and a thickness of a yarn, colour number (on a case if the yarn will not suffice), the name of schemes and sources. In the course of work any cunnings are born, which should be written down to take advantage of them in the future. All these notes exist at my house on the torn off leaflets, in any writing-books and on labels from a yarn which are constantly lost. And now I know that there is a useful site and all notes can be stored in one place :)

The personal page on Ravelry shares on tabs: projects (current projects - what you knit, what yarn use, what scheme, how many it is already executed and so forth, + the finished projects), something of warehouse type (it is possible to note available yarns and needles-hooks at your home), plans (what you are going to knit in the future, what date to whom, from what yarn and so forth), library (your personal schemes and books) and much more. Besides it it is possible to talk with other peoples in forums, to be connected to various groups, to exchange experience. All who like to knit or crochet, I invite to join and find me on the great source of Ravelry :)

stitch markers and holder, 2

It's update for my yesterday posting. I added a pin to stitch marker holder. So the Heart Marker Holder can be used as a shawl pin or a brooch.

Simple and cute :)

stitch markers and holder

Fot continuation of my project I need Stitch Markers. I never made them before, so I think that the stitch markers should be small, appreciable, bright and light. I used silver plated copper wire and small (4 mm) acrylic beads in red and green. Here are 10 stitch markers I made. Then I needed something to hold them together, on a case when I do not use them. This gently curving heart keep my stitch markers together and safe:

It's cute, isn't it? :) Wish happy Valentine's Day! :D

The stitch markers are easy for removing and putting on back on the Heart Marker Holder:

And the last photo, the set is tiny as you can see, the Heart Marker Holder measures approximately 5 cm:

Custom orders are welcome, if you like this set :) Just send me a message or comment this post and I will made the similar for you. Your Heart Marker Holder may vary slightly in shape, but still promises to be adorable.

turquoise and freshwater pearl beadwoven set

This beadwoven set is great for a summertime. Cute freshwater pearls and rondelles look very fresh with turquoise seed beads.

I have made 2 pairs of earrings, one pair is available in my Etsy store.

Haapsalu shawl, part 3

This ugly knitted piece is a center piece of Haapsalu shawl. If I wash and trim this knit, it will change. The lace will get a beautiful look. I think that half of work is done. Now I'm kniting a lace edge to this center piece.

This project I was started in September, 2009 with other Estonian artists in Estonian Handmade Forum. So I'm kniting very-very slowly. Some peoples got 2..14 Haapsalu shawls at this time, I was kniting my one :)
