Work in progress! A new pattern I'm working on. Loving the metallic green colour. 😍 #beads #beadwork #peyote #bracelets #braceletpattern #peyotestitch #jewellerymaking #crafts #crafting

Hi all! It's been a very long time since I've post

Hi all! It's been a very long time since I've posted here. I've been working on a new venture - surface pattern design. This is my first attempt at a seamless pattern. It's part of a collection I'm working on called 'Mum's Garden'. Mum loved hedgehogs, and they always frequented her garden to enjoy the food she put out for them. 😍 Honest opinions! What do you think? Could this work for wrapping paper, notebook covers, etc? Thanks for looking! #surfacepatterndesign #creativebusiness #creativeentrepreneur #graphicdesign #digitalart #hedgehogs #patterns #seamlesspattern

I finally finished this bead loom bracelet! Started it before the first lockdown... I think I lost my mojo for a while! So this is a flat piece of beadwork, which I then glued onto a cuff bracelet blank.

My latest beaded creation! Peyote with a twist. Love the chunkiness of it and how it shimmers with the galvanised silver Miyuki Delica beads. #beads #beadwork #beadweavingpeyote #peyote #flatpeyotestitch #silver #beaded #beadedjewelryofinstagram #beadedring #beadedjewelry #miyukidelica #miyukipeyote #miyuki #miyukibeads #beading #crafts #crafting #craftblogger

My latest tubular peyote bracelet! It's made up of hundreds of tiny Miyuki Delica beads in vibrant colours of metallic blue, silver, white and pink. The pattern is available in my Etsy shop, Craftaholique Designs. #beads #beadwork #beadweavingpeyote #tubularpeyotestitch #miyukipeyote #beading #beadingpattern #etsyshop #etsysellersofinstagram #etsyseller #etsyshopowner #bracelets #vibrant #tubularpeyote #beadaddict #beadaddiction #miyuki #miyukibeads

My finished bead embroidery - I've used it as an embellishment for a beadwork storage case I've just made. I upcycled the case from an old padfolio / conference folder. Inside there's an integrated beading mat where I can do my beadwork - no more beads rolling away! I've posted a tutorial on my blog (link in bio).

My latest project... Bead embroidered flowers! I'm making this as an embellishment for something.

Just finished this set of Miyuki Delica bracelets in pretty colours of peach, white, pink and gold! I made the two diamond pattern bracelets using a bead loom. The single strand bracelet I just strung together.

Though I've been beading for many years, this is the first time I've used a bead loom! It's pretty straightforward and quicker than peyote. #beading #beadloom #beadlooming #beadloomingbracelet #beadloomingnewbie #beadloombracelets #beadloompattern #beadwork #beadingpattern #miyuki #miyukibeads

I had tons of fun over the Easter weekend making this rag rug sample with a kit from @raggedlife. This was part of an online workshop on rag rugging, with four other craft bloggers (hosted on Zoom by Elspeth at Ragged Life). It was brilliant! I'd highly recommend it. I've just posted about my experience on the blog - see link in bio.

Tomorrow, I'm taking part in an online rag rug workshop with @raggedlife! Can't wait, I've been wanting to try out rag rugging for ages. The class is being hosted on Zoom and will be fully interactive. Will post my project when I've done it!
