Where can I find some stunning handmade earrings

Hi There..... Do you like jewelry?

What a stupid question..... Right..... Who doesn't like jewelry..... I suppose there will be some people who don't but most of us do 😃

Ok..... I have another question for you..... Do you like handmade?

I do..... I am a big fan of all kinds of handmade items and as some of you know I am very creative myself.....

The artist will be thrilled when you choose to buy from him or her..... I could go on naming reasons for hours but there's a good chance you could fall asleep reading..... And I still have a lot to tell you 😄

But first I wanted to show off these earrings I received from Curpic..... Gorgeous..... Right..... No, I wasn't talking about myself but about the earrings of course 😀

And it wasn't just the earrings but also the way they were packed..... In a beautiful white box


They could be the perfect gift for someone..... A Christmas gift maybe..... What? Too soon..... Ok, that may be just a tiny bit too soon..... But as Franz Liszt said 'Beware of missing chances..... Otherwise, it may be altogether too late someday'  😍

But before you decide to buy these..... Let me show you some of the other beautiful handmade items she has in her shop 😃

Introducing you to - CreativeOP

Hi There.....Are you a fan of crochet?

Aha and did you know that there is something like bead crochet too? So let me introduce you to CreativeOP. It's an Etsy shop that sells crochet bead necklaces and bracelets and knit clothing.

If you are wondering what bead crochet is....here is some background information 😃

It's a crochet technique in wich you incorporate beads into fabric. There are published descriptios of bead crochet that date from around 1824, but it may very well have been common before that date. At the time it was considered to be more for the rich people. During the days of the great depression time for needlework got less and more inexpensive manufactured jewelry became available. In recent years the interest has revived as a hobbyist pastime.

The shop owner has been doing crochet for over 30 years. But when she saw a bead crochet bracelet on the internet about 3 years ago, she got inspired, and since then she has also been making these bead crochet necklaces and bracelets.

For her jewelry she uses cotton thread and Japanese beads and metal accessories. In time she also wants to start making decorations and gradually turn her hobby into a business.

Interested? Let me show you some of the lovely items she has in her shop 😊

Introducing to you - Bungalow42 on Etsy

Hey you lovely readers.....Today I wanted to introduce you all to Connie from Bungalow42 on Etsy.

Her shop features very special jewelry pieces. She calls them "seriously whimsical adornments" and I can't find of a better way to describe these very special pieces of work. Like most Etsy sellers she started making them for family and friends. They have been her inspiration, guinea pigs and fan club and encouraged her to open an Etsy shop. 😊

Her "seriously whimsical adornments" pair silver findings, gemstones, seashells, pearls, vintage and handcrafted beads from around the world with delicate but sturdy plastic chain, silk thread or cord and waxed linen thread.  Weight and humor is a major focus in her work. She strives to create lightweight pieces that won't weigh you down but will hopefully make you smile.

This is her advice for those thinking about selling on Etsy.....Do the homework/research. Read the Etsy Success emails and other related documents. Join an Etsy Team.....They are the perfect opportunity to meet other similarly inclined folks to exchange ideas with.

So let me show you some of her lovely handmade pieces.

Jewel Tone Ridged Transparent Lampwork Bells



Kiwi Green Chartreuse and Orange Spiral Lampwork Pendant



Colorful Lightweight Aqua Tropical Bracelet with Coral Red Peruvian Fish 



Wasabi, Dark Teal and Avocado Retro Mod Flower Dangle Earrings



Black Anklet with Colorful Pearls and Open Artisan Spiral



Dark Blue Pearl Bracelet with Golden Lampwork



Red Half Circles with Pearl Earrings



Bright Green Curly Leaf Bracelet



Indigo and Green Hexagon Necklace



Pale Yellow Anklet with Pearls and Tangerine Drops



Real lovely handwork.....don't you agree??  The flower dangle earrings are my favourite and which one is yours ??

Hope you liked my blogpost for today.........Until next time.........Have a great day 😸

Confessions of a Seadbeadaholic part 6

So you might have thought that was the end of my story.....sorry to say but you are wrong. 😀

Actually my first real beadworks had a flaw in them, that I discovered only a few weeks later. In the beginning I used a kind of cheap nylon thread. But it didn't last cause after a while it disintegrated spontaneously. I found out the hard way when colleagues who had bought my jewelry came back to me.

So in my honesty I warned other colleagues about this flaw, cause already at that time I wanted my customers to be satisfied, and not be left with their broken pieces. After a while I even started getting their jewelry pieces they bought in stores in order to repair them. I wasn't that fond of it but no is a word that seems so hard to say sometimes.

I couldn't just leave it at that so I started looking for books on beading to make sure I would get it right next time. So I came across this book of the Bead & Button magazine.

And I confess I fell in love with it. Such a great book for beaders. And all the techniques where in there. The most popular ones like brick stitch, herringbone stitch, peyote stitch, right angle weave and many more. And an explanation on materials to use for making beadwork. This was exactly what I needed.

This is one of the bracelets I got from this book that I still make, with an embroidered vine.

So halfway 2014 I reopened my Etsy Seadbeady shop. And I must say that it was not a complete disaster this time. I did sell about 1 or on a good month 2 pieces. But I was still happy with that. Cause it meant being able to buy some more supplies without having to feel guilty about it.

But enough for today ......... Hope you enjoyed reading .........Until next time ..........Have a great day

Seadbeady's Wedding Jewelry Shop

Ahah did you miss me - no - maybe just a little bit

Had my granddaughter over yesterday, she's 1.5 years old,  and I was so tired but fulfilled at the same time. She is so adorable and super energetic 😊

Actually I wanted to tell you about my new Etsy shop. I decided to take the wedding jewelry out of my Seadbeady shop and put it in a new shop SeadbeadyBridesJewel

So that the beautiful brides to be don't have to search through the huge pile of listings from my Seadbeady shop. Haven't got loads in it at the moment. Still in the moving process. So at the moment some are in my Seadbeady and some have moved to my new shop. It's a time consuming process cause I am updating them at the same time. I know it's my own fault 😅

Here are some items I already moved to the new Bridal shop:

White Bridal Jewelry for Her Statement Gemstone Bead Necklace

https://www.etsy.com/nl/listing/538558516/zomer-bruiloft-witte-kralenwerk-juwelen?ref=shop_home_active_6&langid_override=0

At the moment I have 9 items in my shop - but no worries I will make it to more than 30 in a few days - so keep track of my new shop if you are a bride to be. I have a lot of unique one of a kind jewelry pieces that only you could be wearing on your wedding.

Hope you enjoyed .........Until next time.........Have a great weekend.........

Confessions of a Seadbeadaholic part 5

Last time I told you about my Fimo episode. Haven't made any more beads lately, but that doesn't mean I will never make them again. Never say never, that's something my husband always says. Actually he says it in Dutch "zeg nooit nooit" .

In my surfing I also discovered the art of beading. Surfing on the internet off course, although I did surf ages ago. Well not that long but I was 22 when I attended a Windsurfing Camp. Nope I am no longer a spring chicken. Ok if you really wanna know I am 54. Eek yes stop reading all the rubbish of this stupid old lady haha.

So now for the ones that are still interested 😁
Here is one channel on youtube that blew my mind away:
https://www.youtube.com/user/Beading4perfectionis
Really you should go and check it out. And I also discovered a magazine that really inspired me
http://www.facetjewelry.com/magazine/bead-button
You might as well check that out at the same time 😎

At first I started with pretty cheap beads I found in the Veritas (Belgian shop) from Gütermann size 9


And I made of lot of pieces with them. Like this one that I made in 2013 😀


The necklace wasn't too bad but a terrible picture again. It's only since 2 years that I have been working hard on improving my pictures. Let me show you one that's in my Etsy shop now and a bit similar to this one.


https://www.etsy.com/nl/listing/486821866/kralentouw-juwelen-zus-kralenketting?ref=listings_manager_grid

You could say that there is a slight difference between those pictures. I know what shop to pick if I had to choose between these two pictures. Wouldn't you??

But at the time I didn't see it, don't ask me why? Maybe I was a little too subjective?
So I opened an Etsy shop, thinking my pieces would be good enough to sell.

Eh noooo, off course not. So after half a year of waiting for my first sale I decided to close my shop again.

And I am ending my blogpost too for today.......Until next time.......Hope you enjoyed reading
