Hi, I'm Sue, and I believe this is my first needle work Monday post. I've made some beaded post earrings today. My first attempt.
From this collection of beads, and a rivoli.
A 12mm rivoli, size 11o silver seed beads, size 15o crystal seed beads. Size 4mm check glass crystals and a length of fireline. I followed a youtube video by Bronzepony Beaded Jewellery. It took me all day, because I just couldn't quite see how she was connecting the circle of beads I was using. Its a right angle weave pattern. I should have been using 3mm crystals, but I don't have those, so made do. It would have looked much better if I had the correct size.
These are the first pair, with the 6mm post glued on to the back of my rivoli. I was halfway through making, the second earring, on the second pair, when that pesky crystal cut through my thread.
Ah well. I enjoyed the process. I used a size 10 beading needle.
I've given up for the night now, as my poor old eyes are now very tired. Thank you for reading and my apologies if I'm posting in the wrong place. 🙂
