Hi girls!! Thanks for your comments!! woooooooooow!! i'm so happy!! 
here you have a new little necklace. The focal is an etched piece of copper, painted with fire. 
For this time, i've mixed lace and mother of pearl. it looks so vintage and with those blue stones.. what a perfect combo!! 

Very easy sandwich, try  it ! you will be addicted!!  you make knot with lace on your wire+ a bead , or nugget or button, you pass the lace in your wire, you put another bead, and so on, finished with  knot and make your little loops on wire. (very bad explaination.. but you understand 1 or 2 words no? ) 

You can do the same with a long biwa and lace. 

A bientôt!!

little tutorial..

hello my friends!
Many of us will make Christmas Market, to sell our creations and  buy new beads and over again!


I've created this little display stand for earrings, and I wanted to share with you in all modesty.

i hope pictures will help you .. cause my english... as you know.. well, let's go

1) here is the hardware that you need, look at the picture,
 the most important being the wire, I use here some aluminum wire, very easy to work and inexpensive; the 2nd element is the polymer clay

Here I have 50 cm (19 inch) of wire, I fold in 2.

I make a loop at the end and begins to twist on a regular basis. on about 15 cm (6 inch)

                                it will keep you 2 stems not braided. (is it english??? )



Well put one on the left and right and make a loop at the same level (important for weight distribution of earrings)

end with arabesques.

Then I smoothed for hammers, you can also use a stamp, here I took the letter X to make small crosses

file ends and the top of the piece to give a rustic style.

2) base:  make a ball   in polymer clay,

plant the iron rod to make an impression ..

and cook according to manufacturer's recommendations.

Then we decorate, varnish .. and voila!

I added a small loop in the middle, put a Rinchie for decoration , but in fact is for putting the price.

i hope you will understand something !! hihihi.. and i hope it will help you a little!

Hugs

little tutorial...don't laugh girls!!

I beseech you! Be lenient, this is my first tutorial in English!!! maybe some words will be wrong.. but i think the pics are explicites..

well!! what do we need to make this hose bead??

- transparent PVC hose,

- gold(silver, copper) leaf.

-2 beads, barely larger than the diameter of your hose

- a little brush.

-and wire to make links

lets go.. put the gold leaf inside the tube,

.with the tip of the brush, make small circular movements. With static electricity, the paper will stick itself , flatten it with the tip of the brush.

put as much gold leaf that you want ..

you will get something like that ..

Then you take the wire, make a nice loop and put a bead+tube+ another bead , reseal it with a nice loop.
Et Voilà!!

Of course you can just put ONE bead on the top of the tube, and make a kind of little bell.

You can also put fusible film, fibers, beads, paper or whatever you want in the tube ..

is it clear??
