Today I made this bracelet and earrings for my shop on etsy. I also painted my gate. I should of taken a picture of myself all covered in paint. It seems like I spend 1-1/2 painting and another hour getting all the paint off of myself. Most messy painter in the world, that’s me! LOL
This is beadweaving around a little piece of agate. The stone is about 1.25″ long. I kinda like where this is going, although I want to get it to a point where it looks more organic rather than “strips of beads holding a stone.” It’s gettin’ there.
Getting it to this point was a nightmare, however. I could not think of an easy way to secure the base to get started. I used some pieces of scotch tape, which was OK, not great. I have a really cool idea about adapting this to another object, but if I can’t come up with a better method for starting the piece, I’ll go insane before I get anywhere with it.
Suggestions welcome!
