Threaded Bracelets

You know I never actually know whether to call this type of beading threading or weaving because technically I use a needle and this type of thread that's clear but looks nearly like fishing line. It's used for threading though.

Anyways let me show you the yummy bracelets I've made but forgot to upload yesterday!

RUSSIAN SNAKE BRACELETS:

 

 

 

 

For this bracelet I used matte brown seed beads as well as clear silver seed beads. The beads in the middle of the two colour are red beads I've had for years but never used.

I love the effect the matte seed beads give to this bracelet. It's vampy.

This was a custom order for a wedding that I used oil slick blue and clear seed beads. The beads in between the two colours are these clear glass beads with splashes of blue and pink or blue and green on them. @parastar got them for me for my birthday last year! I love how this one sparkles.

 

PURPLE HAZE VARIATION 1:

The pattern for this bracelet is called "Purple Haze" and I got the pattern from Around The Beading Table but this is my own variation of the pattern, using my own colours.

I used clear diamond beads with 2 black beads for the center of the wrist and then the blue oil slick beads.

PURPLE HAZE VARIATION 2:

 Here I followed the "Purple Haze" pattern but entirely used silver seed beads for it and for the corners of the wrist used pearly, white seed beads.

I made it's own toggle clasp from a pattern I found on My Amari using the same silver seed beads.

It took me ages to do but I love the feel of this bracelet and how delicate it looks. It's subtle but still stands out! Thinking about it, this design would make a stunning CHOKER as well!

Threaded Earrings – Candies and Pearls

Pearls:

I made these as a Christmas gift.

Quite some time ago I bought a bulk box of beads and in it I got a small pack of real genuine pearls. I was waiting for the perfect project to use them for and this just happened to be it!

I used tiny, clear seed beads, glass blue beads as well as the real pearls. The earrings measure 5cm long.

I love the blue beads that I used because they aren't exactly 100% round, they're flattish. I loved doing this project and they remind me of snowflakes due to the colours used.

Pattern can be found on My Amari for free! She actually has pretty amazing patterns!!!

 

Candies:

One day I was in the mood to thread something in the star shape but couldn't find any patterns so decided to conjure up something on my own!

I love how delicate and tiny these are and they are only 2cm long.

I used tiny, pink seed beads and then these awesome turquoise beads I found.

For these I used faux metallic blue pearls, clear oil slick beads (the inner side of the bead has the oil slick appearance) and clear seed beads for the frame of the star.

First Threaded Earrings to go out of SA

How exciting was this project to do? INDESCRIBABLE!!!

@SkiewiesNam ordered a pair of threaded earrings. She wanted something long but elegant, and she lives in NAMIBIA! So she'll be the FIRST woman OUTSIDE OF SOUTH AFRICA to own something I made. I can't describe how that feels. It is surreal really!!!

I'm adding two photos because the first one is a bit bright and you can't entirely see the beads nicely, whereas in the second one the look a bit droopy.

Anyway, I used clear/silver inner seed beads, clear biconial beads and then clear-black beads. I can't tell you how much I adore these earrings. They are just SO COOL!!!

I'm really into threading at the moment and am also currently busy with an earrings and bracelet set for a bride. I can't wait to show you that. Currently busy finishing the bracelet, which would've been finished yesterday but I made a mistake so have to redo them now. The earrings are complete though.

 

Thank you @SkiewiesNam for the support and I truly cannot wait until you receive these :D :D :D

 

The pattern for these earrings can be found on Around the Beading Table.
