Made this over the weekend - took the better part of the day to make, but I love the look - Victorian Punk I call it!!
Looks much nicer in real life as it is really 3D .
Just found a great section on the swarovski website which has lots of beading stitches animated - great if you have wanted to learn a stitch but need to be shown !
Beading
By criss-crossing one or more times through beads strung on a thread, various 2-D and 3-D beading patterns can be created. Also, Pearls or Pendants may be used to achieve marvellous design variations..
See it here!

I am a member of an Australian Beading Forum (www.beadingforum.com.au) and they have a weekly comp for "Year of Jewellery".
This Theme inspired me - I had so many ideas but limited time so I went to my favorite vintage stampings and started making a necklace that told a story of love - precious memories.
Composed of swarovski crystals, czech crystals and vintage brass and copper stampings. A little bit vintage, almost steam punk. I love this style. I use to do heaps of jewellery like this, but seem to be doing more and more seed work nowdays.....
Many of those of you who have known me for a while know I am a bit obsessed with handbags......
I have now decided to offer the tutorial on how to make your very own mini handbags to use as phone charms, pendants, dangles for bookmarks, and I even have made a heap of them and added them to a charm bracelet.
Once you get started on these, I am sure you will be addicted!!!
