I spent last couple of days playing with Herringbone stitch and I might’ve gotten a little carried away, but I really enjoyed making these earrings.

A nod to tradition, this beautiful bridal headband has a wheat ear design embroidered in gold beads. The wedding tradition goes back to Roman and Egyptian times and although the meaning has changed slightly over the years its roots are in luck and abundance thebritishcrafthouse.co.uk/product/gold...

Nose ring (nath) from Himachal Pradesh, with a gold crescent-shaped fish design decorated with floral patterned granulation and a fringe of wired-on pearl beads. Weighing 22g, the nose ring measures 6cm high and 5cm wide. The hinged gold wire loop which completes the circle has a series of decorative elements individually loose-strung along its length with a meandering floral stem connecting the lower part of the two elipses. A pair of gold and pearl danglers with spiky babul work on top hang respectively from the bottom of the ring and from the floral pearl, turquoise and red stones (rubies or garnets) motif next to the closing end where the loop encloses a ring at the end of the crescent. The stones are set on a bed of red lac within a gold wire bezel mounting. The loop originally would have been secured with some kind of pin, now missing, but is now secured with a piece of silver wire twisted through the engaged rings. Further along the loop there is a large red gem-stone with pearls either side strung between two gold babul-work orbs, under which there are two floral-shaped elements with turquoises encircled with silver wire-strung pearls. From the collection of Dr Waltraud Ganguly, author of Nose Rings of India, published in Delhi, 2015, the nose ring was later acquired by the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, Accession Number IS.391-2019.

#Flowing rows of beads waiting for someone else to make them into art. #BlueSkyArtShow

A beaded earring in the process of being made it is on felt and it’s resting in my hand. The centre is an acrylic teardrop cab that is iridescent, green and blue and gold around. It are cut Crystal beads with gold bugle beads and then there’s teal and gold seed beads around it as well.

A preview of another pair I’m working on. The picture doesn’t do it justice that’s for sure. Now gotta make the other one.

An embroidery hoop arranged next to a shallow dish full of red beads and 7 strings of beads in progress. The embroidery is a felt red heart with a monochromatic red eye in the center. There are red beads surrounding the eye shape and then lines of gold beads radiating to the edges of the heart. The strings of beads are meant to look like long drips of blood
